2018 Telangana Legislative Assembly election

The Telangana Legislative Assembly election was held in Telangana on 7 December 2018 to constitute the second Legislative Assembly since the formation of the state in 2014.[2] The incumbent Telangana Rashtra Samithi, the Indian National Congress, Telangana Jana Samithi, and Telugu Desam Party were the main contestants in the election.[3] Four opposition parties in the state, the INC, the TJS, the TDP and the CPI have announced the formation of a 'Mahakootami' (Grand Alliance), to defeat the ruling TRS in the elections. However, the Maha Kootami could not win a majority. Ultimately, the TRS won and formed the government once again [4]
