But we have proved — from Jubilee Hills by-election to urban local body election — that people across Telangana are with the Congress,” Telangana Congress chief Mahesh Kumar Goud told The Indian Express. With regard to municipalities, the BRS had won majorities in 79 bodies and was the single-largest party in another 26. Across the 116 municipalities, the Congress won 1,346 wards, followed by the BRS (718), the BJP (259) and the AIMIM (48). In Mahabubnagar (60 seats), the Congress won 29, falling short of the 31-seat mark. In the 10-member Amarchinta municipality, the Congress, BRS and BJP have three seats each, with the CPI(M) holding the balance.
