Telangana Election Results 2023: DK Shivakumar, A Congress 'Trouble Shooter', To Be In Hyderabad Tomorrow

Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister, DK Shivakumar will likely arrive in Hyderabad on Saturday, buoyed by encouraging exit poll forecasts for the Congress party. While numerous exit polls favor the Congress in Telangana, a few also suggest the prospect of a hung assembly, prompting the party's leadership to caution Shivakumar about potential MLA poaching.

In conversations with television channels, DK Shivakumar adamantly stated that no one can lure away Congress MLAs.

He emphasized, "I have unwavering faith in our MLAs and our party's triumph. Poaching our MLAs is an insurmountable task. The grassroots support is firmly with the Congress, and even before the exit polls, I was confident of our victory in Telangana. I am prepared to tackle any situation as directed by my high command."

Telangana conducted polls on November 30, registering a voter turnout of 71.34 percent. The Bhartiya Rashtra Samiti (BRS), Congress, and BJP express equal confidence in securing victory, yet the exit polls portray a close contest between the ruling BRS and the Congress party.
