Good to see the government getting this endorsement, but the real test is delivery. Promises for the poor and middle class must translate into visible change on the ground. No time for celebrations only, please get to work.

Winning 64 municipalities is no small feat. Revanth Reddy's government seems to have connected with the grassroots. The meeting with Priyanka Gandhi shows the high command is also involved. Hope this means more central support for Telangana's projects.

As a resident of Hyderabad, I've seen some positive steps in the last two years, especially in welfare schemes. But municipal issues like garbage collection and water supply need urgent attention. This victory comes with great responsibility, as the CM said.

The BJP and BRS should take note. The people have spoken clearly again. This is a vote for stability and the welfare policies. "Transparent governance" is the key phrase here – hope they stick to it.

Interesting to follow Indian state politics. A strong showing in local body elections is often a better indicator of public sentiment than national polls. The Congress momentum in South India continues.
