As exit polls predicted a Congress upsurge dethroning KCR's BRS in its bastion Telangana, Congress MP Shashi Tharoor termed it a "superb turnaround". The polls unanimously give Congress an edge, some projecting a majority, with BRS relegated to second spot. State Congress chief Revanth Reddy predicts over 80 of 119 seats. BRS leader KTR slammed surveys airing while voting was on as "illogical" and "ludicrous", dismissing them as "nonsense" and asserting BRS' return. India TV-CNX predicted 63-79 seats for the Congress, 31-47 for the BRS and two to four for the BJP. The P-Marq poll gave 58-71 to the Congress, 37-51 to the BRS. News 24-Today’s Chanakya gave 71 to the Congress and 33 to the BRS. TV9 Bharatvarsh Polstrat projected that Congress would get 49-59 and the BRS 48-58 in a close fight. The ABP-C Voter poll gave 49-65 to the Congress, 38-54 to the BRS and five to 13 to the BJP. The surprise Telangana projections come after years of BRS dominance since the state was formed.
