Congress president Rahul Gandhi is currently addressing a press conference. Here are the main highlights from his press briefing:

-This is a victory of Congress workers, small traders, farmers. This is a big responsibility for Congress party and we will work on this.

-We are going to provide these states a vision. We are going to provide these states a govt that they can be proud of.

-The ideology of SP, BSP & Congress is the same - different from that of BJP. There will not be a big issue of Chief Minister face. It will be done smoothly.

-As far as the EVMs are concerned, there are issues with them, universally. If the people in the country are uncomfortable with the EVM, then it's a big issue which needs to be addressed.

-But the central issue of EVM is still there, if the chip is manipulated you can affect the entire voting system, that's not possible with manual voting. This is a question that has been answered in the US&other countries, where they've said that we don't want an EVM.

TRS was always sure of big win in Telangana, says K Kavitha##TRS was always sure of big win in Telangana, says K Kavitha

Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao’s daughter and TRS MP from Nizamabad, K Kavitha was the first to react after her party established a massive lead over Congress and TDP led Prajakutami (grand alliance). She said that the “close fight” in Telangana was created by the “national media” and TRS was always sure of a big win.

She indirectly hinted that TDP chief and Andhra Pradesh CM Chandrababu Naidu’s entry into Telangana caused the huge defeat for the Congress. “Till two months ago national media paid no attention to Telangana. They kept saying it was TRS. Only after Naidu formed Prajakutami, they called it a close fight. He is an excellent media manager. But he has lost badly”.

KCR: An obscure Congress foot soldier who became mascot of Telangana pride##KCR: An obscure Congress foot soldier who became mascot of Telangana pride

From living a life of near anonymity as a Congress foot soldier to becoming the mascot of Telangana pride who brought down the then mighty Congress to its knees and wrested statehood, K Chandrasekhar Rao has navigated the choppy waters of politics with the ease of a masterful oarsman. With the emphatic victory of the TRS, the party he founded with the sole aim of realising the decades-old dream of a separate Telangana, Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao, 64, has reinforced his position as the tallest leader of the youngest state of the Indian union.

BJP headquarters in New Delhi wears a deserted look, CNBCTV18’s Archana Shukla reports##BJP headquarters in New Delhi wears a deserted look, CNBCTV18’s Archana Shukla reports

There is an uneasy quiet at the BJP office. The foyer and entrance are barren with occasional cars coming in. No show of party workers, supporters or fans. No one swaying party flags or shouting slogans. The dour mood of the party after the setback in the state elections is reflected in these scenes. With Chhattisgarh and Rajasthan almost out of hands, the only glimmer of hope, if any for BJP, could be Madhya Pradesh where BJP and Congress are locked in a neck-and- neck tussle. The only activity in BJP headquarters is around the media booths where party spokespersons are shuffling from one channel discussion to the other. But the normal energy and enthusiasm seen even there is quite subdued.
