India Today Axis My India exit poll predicts 79 to 91 seats to TRS and just one to three seats to BJP in Telangana.

Just 48 hours for election results, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday said that it is ready to extend support to K Chandrashekar Rao's Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) if they ditch Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM.

"We will support TRS if it drops AIMIM and seeks our support publicly," said BJP state president K Laxman. "No party can form the government here [Telangana] without our support," he said.

Reacting on the Congress's claim that TRS was always "BJP's team B", the state chief said, "Yes, we fought against the corrupt rule and family rule of TRS, but we will support them if we don't get the numbers."

The Congress in the morning had claimed that TRS was always the second option for BJP which is why Prime Minister Narendra Modi never said anything against Chandrashekar Rao and TRS during the election campaign.

How right #Rahul Gandhi was when he said BJP is #TRS’ B team & #AiMIM its C team. barely elections over & #BJP state pres says bjp ready to support TRS if assembly hung ( if trs ditches aimim). no wonder #PM said not a word against #KCR & #TRS during campaign Abhishek Singhvi (@DrAMSinghvi) December 9, 2018

The suggestion of post-poll alliance comes after exit polls show caretaker CM KCR-led TRS storming back to power with an impressive margin in Telangana.

India Today Axis My India exit poll predicts that KCR is likely to win 79 to 91 seats in the 119-member house. The alliance between the Congress and Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu's Telegu Desam Party (TDP) is expected to win just 21-33 seats in the Telangana assembly election, voting for which was held on December 7.

However, the BJP is projected to get just one to three seats, while the AIMIM will win anything between four and seven seats.

This is the first assembly election that the state is facing after it was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in 2014. The result will be announced on December 11.
