We need to analyze voting percentage shifts to see how TDP and Congress are faring. Last time Congress and TRS fought together. This time their voters split so it is good opportunity for TDP to win a few seats.

Well results are out. TDP and Cong won 1 each and TRS won 2. All 4 MP seats were vacated by the TRS by their resignation. Out of 16 MLA seats, TDP won 5 in bypolls.

So bottom line, if Congress and TRS run seperately, TDP wins. TRS is one reason TDP has to shift taking support from BJP to Commies. In Coastal and Rayalaseema districts,
commies don't have presence in bloc.
