The Congress, after a disappointing result in the Hindi belt, found solace in the South with a comprehensive win in Telangana. The question now is who is going to be the Chief Minister in Telengana. State President Revanth Reddy is the front runner, but there are other aspirants, including the outgoing Congress Legislature Party Chief Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu and former party president Uttam Kumar Reddy.
After a Congress Legislature Party meeting in Hyderabad, the observers are in New Delhi and that includes DK Shivakumar, Karnataka's deputy Chief Minister. A decision is not expected in a hurry, but very soon.
