• Congress secured over 50% of Sarpanch seats in the Telangana Panchayat elections, continuing its strong performance.
• The second phase of Telangana Panchayat elections saw 85.86% polling, with higher female voter turnout attributed to government welfare schemes.
• In the second phase, Congress won 2,297 seats (51.9%), BRS secured 1,191 seats (27.5%), and BJP obtained 257 seats (6.2%).
• BRS emerged as the primary opposition force, indicating that voters may choose BRS if dissatisfied with the current Congress government, a setback for BJP.
