Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) was firmly placed to bag 16 of 17 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. But that really remained on paper. The party won most effective 9 seats, bringing down its tally from 11 in the 2014 elections. In fact, with a Congress, a TDP and YSRCP MP becoming a member of it, the party’s tally had gone as much as 14, however difference in the number of seats it won in 2019 has been considerable.
