Hyderabad: The Congress was totally wiped out in the city as the TD-BJP alliance swept the polls in Greater Hyderabad winning 14 of the 24 Assembly segments. Of the remaining seats, the MIM retained seven seats in the old city and the TRS won in three Assembly segments, Secunderabad, Malkajgiri and Patancheru.
The TRS, which will form the government in Telangana, also won the Chevella LS seat when reports last came in. The BJP won the Secunderabad Parliamentary constituency and its ally, the TD, won in Malkajgiri Lok Sabha constituency over its nearest rival the TRS. The MIM retained the Hyderabad LS seat.
The Congress, which had won 15 Assembly seats and three Lok Sabha seats in 2009, drew a blank this time in Greater Hyderabad. All the Congress heavyweights, former ministers Danam Nagender (Khairatabad) and M. Mukesh Goud (Goshamahal), V. Hanumanth Rao (Amberpet) and Marri Shashidhar Reddy (Sanathnagar) lost to TD-BJP candidates in the Assembly segments.
Union minister Sarve Satyanarayana and Anjan Kumar Yadav of the Congress lost in Malkajgiri and Secunderabad Parliamentary constituencies respectively.
In fact, in most of the constituencies in the city, the Congress candidates were relegated to third and fourth positions, indicating the strong anti-Congress wave.
The old Congress war-horse and chief ministerial aspirant, Mr V. Hanumanth Rao, was relegated to third position in Amberpet, with the TRS emerging the runner-up. Mr Sarve Satyanarayana was in third place in Malkajgiri when reports last came in.
The TD has made a strong comeback in the city after 10 years. In 2009, the TD had only one seat, Rajendernagar, and the BJP too had one seat, Amberpet. A combination of hope in the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, and anger against the Congress for dividing the state, brought about the TD-BJP victory.
The large population from the Seemandhra region residing in the city is reported to have voted en masse for TD-BJP, believing that the combine will best safeguard their lives and properties when the state is officially divided next month. It may be mentioned that the police administration will be under the control of the Central government in Greater Hyderabad, which will be the joint capital.

Harishwar Reddy at Parigi and K.S. Ratnam at Chevella in Ranga Reddy district. K.

Election Results 2014: Punjab is AAP’s sole consolation
CHANDIGARH: The 'lightweight' Aam Aadmi Party slugged it out like a champion in Punjab, winning four seats and retreating only after pushing both the Akalis and Congress into their corners.
The latter was hit where it hurts most, as it drastically lost vote share to the AAP, which secured an impressive 25% of total votes cast in Punjab, in its Lok Sabha election debut. Dr Dharamvir Gandhi caused a huge upset in defeating three-time Congress MP Preneet Kaur from Patiala.
Gandhi won by a little over 15,000 votes, and is one of the candidates predicted to overthrow a biggie by ET. As senior AAP leader Rajeev Godara said, "Other than the antiincumbency and correct choice of candidates, it is the rebel in Punjabis which helped AAP do so well here."
Comedian-turned-politician Bhagwant Mann had the last laugh with a record margin of over two lakh votes in Sangrur against SAD's tallest leader and MP, Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa. Thanking the people of Punjab, Mann ..
Election results 2014: PM Modi must remain true to his instincts
On Friday, India didn't merely elect a government with a resounding mandate, it categorically entrusted the responsibility for running the show to Narendra Modi. The extent to which the credit for the victory belongs to the BJP-led alliance and to the man who campaigned relentlessly for a Congress-free India will be the subject of debate in the coming days. To the average voter, however,this is no subject for hair-splitting . The vote was essentially for Modi, for his combative style of leadership and for the dream of a better future he proffered.
The opinion polls and the exit polls are quite clear on this score. The booster dose that carried the BJP beyond the 272 mark and which gave the NDA more than 330 seats was essentially a result of the massive support its candidates received from India's youthful voters, those under the age of 35. It was this section that gave the Modi campaign its T-20 energy, allowed it to spread throughout India and break the seemingly impregnable bastions of caste and community. The credit for Modi's spectacular victory belonged to those who demanded a better future for themselves , their families and their country. It was a vote both for self and nation.
The sheer boldness of the mandate may well be lost on a political class that still thinks in very conventional terms about what is possible and what is not on. Modi doesn't . Having for long successfully defied the collective wisdom of the commentariat and the entrenched Establishment he would know that this was not a mandate for consensus but for audacity . After a long spell of experimenting with the staid and the conventional (that also included dollops of venality), India has preferred a 'dil mange more' impetuosity.
It is imperative to grasp the full meaning of Friday's momentous mandate because the next few weeks will witness a concerted attempt to blunt the sharp edges of the voter restlessness . There will be a bid to suggest that the excitement of the past three months should be firmly buried and replaced by a business-as-usual spirit. There will be the usual jockeying for posts and ministerships by those who were left out in the past decade. And there will be gratuitous advice showered on the new Prime Minister to shed his combativeness and be socialized into a new role.
Some of these suggestions are no doubt well-meaning but Modi must resist the temptations of yielding to the merchants of caution. The vote is for a radical rupture with the fundamental assumptions of governance that, in today's India, has come to mean institutionalized inefficiency and lack of transparency . Just as he redefined the rules of campaigning during the course of his 450 plus public meetings since September 2013, Modi must be true to his instincts and his partiality for a national resurgence.
Such a lofty project will no doubt need relentless application but equally it will need a revitalized political culture. Hitherto , governments have proceeded top-down to manage change. Modi will need to harness the wave of adulation for him for a larger mission to revitalize a creaky system and make it fit for purpose. This could offend the status-quoists . But he needn't fear. If India wanted to merely plod along, it wouldn't have elected a man like him.
