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 announced the formation of a 'Maha Kootami' (Grand Alliance), to defeat the ruling TRS in the elections. However, the Maha Kootami could not win a majority; the TRS won and formed the government once again [4]
Background[]
K. Chandrashekar Rao went for early elections in 2018, when he resigned 6 September 2018, nine months before the completion of his term.
Since no other party had majority,the house was dissolved by the Governor and general elections were announced.
This election led to the alliance of Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and Indian National Congress (INC), Communist Party of India (CPI) once arch rivals, coming together as part of Praja or Maha Kuutami for the first time.
