KCR beat factors like incumbency and criticism of dynasty politics to stage a massive victory over the Congress-led People's Front or 'Praja Kutami'. These concerns have now proved to be non-issues. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)

KCR's daughter Kavitha said there was no anti-incumbency as the TRS government had done well on all fronts during the last four-and-a-half years, adding that it was both welfare programmes and Telangana pride which worked for the party in this election. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)

KCR today said that he would now focus on national politics to work for an alternative to both Congress and Bharatiya Janata Party. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)

KCR slammed Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu for entering Telangana and hijacking the People's Front to hide his failures in Andhra. He said he would contest in Andhra as a 'return gift' to Naidu. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)

Asaduddin Owaisi who promised support to TRS said: I say this with all responsibility that K Chandrasekhar Rao has all capabilities and capacities to ensure that a non-Congress government comes into existence when the next parliament election takes place and this country requires a non-Congress & a non-BJP government.

Reacting to the Congress party's victory in Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, KCR said this happened because there was no other alternative to the BJP. 'India needs to come out of this routine,' he said. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)

The TRS chief advised party workers against becoming arrogant, saying this huge victory has added to their responsibility to fulfil the promises made to the people. (Photo | R Satish Babu/ EPS)
