The editorial
Source: The Times of India · 12 Dec 2018Away from the Hindi heartland, Congress loses ground in Telangana and Mizoram.
The victories of TRS in Telangana and MNF in Mizoram reveals why regional outfits are no pushovers in electoral battles with the more ballyhooed national parties. TRS supremo K Chandrashekar Rao called early polls to ensure that national issues did not crowd out the achievements of his government and to ensure opposition parties had little time to regroup. His confidence has been vindicated by voters who have gifted TRS a landslide victory over the mahakutami comprising Congress, TDP, CPI and TJS.
