• In the third phase, Congress supporters won 2,286 out of 4,159 seats, while BRS secured 1,142 seats.
• Voter turnout in the final phase for erstwhile Warangal district was high at 86.59%.
• Despite widespread Congress victory, BRS candidate Vennapureddy Mohan Reddy won Kaleshwaram Major Gram Panchayat by over a thousand votes.
