BRS leader KTR took a dig at himself as he re-shared his less than 24-hour-old post on X after his party Bharat Rashtra Samithi lost the state elections on Sunday.
Predicting his party's victory for the third time, KTR shared a picture of himself aiming with a gun and captioned it, 'Hattrick loading 3.0, Get ready to celebrate guys.'
But as early trends showed Congress edging past his party on Sunday, he reposted his own tweet and wrote, 'This one ain't gonna age well. Missed the mark'.

As Congress won the Telangana assembly elections, the spotlight is yet again on Priyanka Gandhi who after Karnataka has delivered another state for her Congress party.

After Karnataka, how Priyanka Gandhi delivered Telangana for Congress | Analysis

As Congress won the Telangana assembly elections, the spotlight is yet again on Priyanka Gandhi who after Karnataka has delivered another state for her Congress party.

&ldquo;...You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.&rdquo; And &lsquo;Indiramma's&rsquo; granddaughter just followed what she had said years ago. Buoyed by the confidence of successfully leading Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh to victories, Priyanka Gandhi got it right in India's newest state, Telangana, as well. The Congress general secretary struck all right cords when she invoked the victory in the neighbouring state, when she wooed women voters, when she claimed that there was nexus between BJP, BRS and the AIMIM. She emerged as the figurehead in Congress' fight in Telangana where K Chandrashekhar Rao's Bharat Rashtra Samithi had a comparatively stronger foothold until six months back. It was her result-yielding lead role in Karnataka that allowed the Telugu people to instill their confidence in her familiarity. When the grand old party's campaign had hit a roadblock in Karnataka after Rahul Gandhi's disqualification following his conviction in a defamation case, it was Priyanka who had brought the party back on track. A senior leader from Congress had described Priyanka's political skills saying, "She doesn't like addressing people from a distance. She doesn't like to be restricted and she is at her best when left amidst women." And rightly so! Whether it be increasing the involvement of women in the organisational set-up or her folk dance performances or getting down from her vehicle to join women on tractors or exhibiting her caring self when facing women in trouble, with her beaming smile she has won the admiration of women voters across the states. It was not just her endearing persona that Telangana banked upon but also her scathing attacks on the rival parties that resonated with the people of the state. From discarding KCR's claims of &lsquo;Bangaru Telangana&rsquo; to raising the issues of &lsquo;land, sand, wine and mine mafias&rsquo;, Priyanka drove the narrative in Telangana that became a new state when the United Progressive Alliance was in the centre in 2014. Apart from her political deftness, her resemblance to her grandmother Indira Gandhi rang a bell. In May, Priyanka had said, "You are calling me the new Indiramma, then trust me. I will not make false promises." Result showed her appeal stuck with locals when they voted on November 30.

He told opposition parties to not support those working against the country's interests at a time when development is taking place at a fast pace.&nbsp;

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday hailed BJP's big win in the assembly polls as a victory for his government's agenda of self-reliant India, asserting that its hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of its hat-trick of Lok Sabha poll wins in 2024.
"The results show popular support for our battle against corruption," he told a crowd of cheering supporters at the BJP headquarters here, adding that they have served a lesson to the Congress and the opposition's INDIA bloc that mere collecting some dynasts on dais may make for a good photograph but cannot win people's confidence.
No one should come in between the Centre's development and people, or the masses will remove them, Modi said in a stinging attack on opposition parties.
Some people are already saying our hat-trick in the states is a guarantee of hat-trick in the Lok Sabha polls in 2024, he said.
He told opposition parties to not support those working against the country's interests at a time when development is taking place at a fast pace. Addressing a big gathering of BJP members, including many Union ministers, Modi said these results will ensure the world's belief in India and infuse more confidence into global investors for the country.

&nbsp;
<h2 class="jsx-ace90f4eca22afc7">&nbsp;</h2>

Addressing BJP workers after the party's thumping victories in Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the party will return to power for the third straight term in 2024.
'The hat-trick in three states has guaranteed a hat-trick in 2024,&rsquo; he said.&nbsp;
These results will echo across the world and assure investors globally about India's development potential he added.&nbsp;
PM Modi took a dig at the Opposition saying that the latter tried to 'divide the country on caste lines during the elections'.

Four weeks before voting in Madhya Pradesh on November 17, the ruling BJP mobilized its cadre at the ground level to counter the Congress, and Amit Shah&rsquo;s ground work helped the saffron party to thwart anti-incumbency.

MP election 2023: decoding BJP’s massive win & Congress' poor show

Four weeks before voting in Madhya Pradesh on November 17, the ruling BJP mobilized its cadre at the ground level to counter the Congress, and Amit Shah&rsquo;s ground work helped the saffron party to thwart anti-incumbency.

With the Bharatiya Janata Party sweeping election in Madhya Pradesh despite the so-called anti-incumbency factor, the saffron party has delivered an unequivocal message that this central Indian state continues to remain a Hindutava fortress. The Congress led by Kamal Nath was hoping to take advantage of the boredom factor against the Shivraj Singh Chouhan administration, but a strong push from the BJP central leadership just a month before the voting day saw the tides turning rampantly. A BJP leader explained to The Indian Express that it was like a surgical strike but with organizational strength and mobilization. While PM Narendra Modi led the campaign, Home Minister Amit Shah took control of the electioneering on the ground. This was clear from the fact that BJP&rsquo;s Jan Ashirwad Yatra was led by the central leadership and Chouhan was pushed in the backdrop. At the same time, the BJP took measures to cash in on his government&rsquo;s schemes which were popular particularly among women. To further counter Chouhan boredom, the BJP move to field several high-profile leaders and sitting MPs gave the electorate an impression that any of them could be BJP&rsquo;s chief ministerial face after the elections. Since 2018, when BJP lost the election and came back to power after a rebellion in the Congress, the saffron party had spent time and resources to rebuild the organisation, infuse fresh blood, and strengthen the process of expansion and consolidation of its support. It was this cadre that was set in motion four weeks before voting on November 17. The Congress failed to sustain its lead till the last minute due to the lack of organizational strength. Sample this, a BJP leader said that on the day of polling, BJP had 90% of its booth committees functioning at 8.30 am while the Congress was scrambling to get their booths set even by 9.30 am. The unnamed BJP politician told The Indian Express that the high percentage of voter turnout in the first half itself happened because of his party&rsquo;s mobilization.

Chhattisgarh polls: as BJP defies predictions, what went wrong for Congress | Explained

BJP pulled off a stunning victory in Chhattisgarh, defying all predictions to dismantle Congress government. There are many factors that led to the Congress' debacle.

BJP has defied all predictions to dismantle Bhupesh Baghel-led Congress government in Chhattisgarh. The Congress' debacle can be attributed to various factors, including tensions at the highest level of state leadership as well as the allegations of corruption against the government.
NO TAKERS FOR BAGHEL&rsquo;S MAHADEV APP DEFENCE
Days before the elections, the Enforcement Directorate linked CM Bhupesh Baghel to the alleged Mahadev betting app scam case. BJP used this opportunity to attack the Congress in all rallies.
Apart from the Mahadev app controversy, the ED has is also probing other alleged scams such as those related to the paddy, excise, mining and coal levy.
CONGRESS FACTIONAL FEUD HIT ELECTION PROSPECTS
The rivalry between Baghel and his deputy TS Singhdeo for the top post could not be hidden and the BJP took full advantage of it. BJP's chief campaigner PM Narendra Modi in his rallies frequently took potshots at the Congress leadership. &nbsp; CENTRE&rsquo;S KISAN DOLE A HIT WITH FARMERS
Despite tall promises by the Congress to get farmers excellent value for their crop, it appears that Centre's PM Kisan Samman Nidhi, under which farmers got ₹6,000 yearly, impressed them more.
BJP PROMISE TO WIPE OUT NAXALS RECEIVED WELL
The state has been battling the Naxal problem for a long time. This was true even when BJP's Raman Singh-led government ruled the state for years. However, Home Minister Amit Shah took it upon himself to convince the people that only his party can root out the menace.
CONGRESS&rsquo; FAILURE TO BAN LIQUOR COST DEAR
In the 2018 assembly election, Congress had promised to ban liquor in the state, a move to gain support of the women voters. However, the promise was never realised and the BJP did not miss the opportunity to remind the voters of this failed promise.

Reddy is contesting the assembly election from two seats. While he appears set to win Kodangal seat, he is trailing in Kamareddy. Congress is poised to form the government in the state.

The counting has started in Telangana and shortly it will decide whether K Chandrashekhar Rao will retain power for the third consecutive term.&nbsp;
It is worth noting that in the 119-seat Telangana Assembly, the parties in the fray need to reach the magic number 60 so that they can form a government. &nbsp;In a seat-sharing agreement, the BJP and Jana Sena contested on 111 and 8 seats, respectively while the Congress gave one seat to its ally CPI.&nbsp;
In the exit polls, the edge was given to Congress. Whereas, BRS took the second place as they got over 40 seats and BJP was trailing behind.&nbsp;

The counting of votes for the 90-member Chhattisgarh Assembly Election has begun. The voting in Chhattisgarh was held in two phases - November 7 and 17. In the elections, candidates from Congress, BJP and BSP, among others were in the fray.&nbsp;
Congress marked a victory in the 2018 elections and with Baghel becoming the chief minister.
During Baghel's tenure, he launched several schemes like Rajiv Gandhi Kisan Nyay Yojana, Sanchar Kranti Yojana, Narva, Garwa, Ghurwa, Bari, and Nyay Apke Dwar, among others.&nbsp;
The exit polls that were released by several agencies on Thursday, hinted at a close fight between Congress and BJP with Congress having an edge.&nbsp;

'I was 16 when...': Rahul Gandhi remembers father Rajiv at Mizoram rally

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi remembered his father Rajiv during a rally in Mizoram.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi remembered his 1986 visit to Mizoram with his father Rajiv Gandhi during a rally in Aizawl on October 16.
"My impression of Mizoram was formed when I was 16 years old when I came here with my father in 1986. The people of Mizoram are gentle, kind and affectionate," Gandhi said.
Recalling his recent visit to Manipur, Gandhi said, "Some months ago, I went to Manipur. The idea of Manipur has been destroyed by the BJP. It is no longer a state, but two states. People have been murdered, women have been molested and babies have been killed but the PM doesn't find it important to travel there."

The counting of votes in Mizoram has finally begun in the state. The elections for the 40 assembly seats in Mizoram took place on November 7 and witnessed a tough competition between key players including the Mizo National Front (MNF), Zoram People's Movement (ZPM), Congress, and BJP.
The counting was supposed to happen on Sunday along with Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh and Telangana. However, it was deferred by the Election Commission following appeals by political parties, NGOs, churches and students' bodies as Sunday holds a special significance for the people of Mizoram, a Christian-majority state.
