People are with us in our fight against the BJP. These five states results will help form a strong alternative to the BJP."


The Telugu Desam Party said Tuesday the Congresss-led alliance, of which it is a part, needs to analyse and introspect on the grouping's "failure" in the Telangana Assembly elections. "We have to analyse the factors that contributed to the success of TRS and failure of our alliance," said Ravula
