Telangana jolts Congress in AP, Telangana issue, Jaganmohan Reddy. The party's tally is likely to nosedive to 7 from 33 in 2009. This could be the worst ever performance of the Congress in the state ever.

The Congress policy makers changed their stands on the Telangana issue over the last five years before finally deciding to create a separate state, hoping to gain significantly. The party's tactics, however, appears to be failing as it is likely to lose in both the Telangana and the Seemandhra regions of Andhra Pradesh.

The party's tally is likely to nosedive to 7 from 33 in 2009. This could be the worst ever performance of the Congress in the state ever.

Former Congress leader Jaganmohan Reddy's YSR Congress is expected to be the biggest gainer in the state as it is predicted to win 13 seats in the state. The party takes a big lead in the Seemandhra region.

While the Congress fails to impress much in the Telangana region as well despite deciding to bifurcate Andhra Pradesh, it is the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) which is expected to be the real gainer winning 13 seats against its tally of 2 in the current House.

Chandrababu Naidu's Telugu Desam Party (TDP) emerges the other major player in both the regions. However, seat-wise its gain is not likely to be more than 2, taking its tally to 8 seats.

Though the BJP's vote share is on the upswing in both the regions, especially in urban pockets, it does not seem to be in a winning position in any constituency. However, an alliance with the TDP could bolster fortunes of both the parties.
