The TRS scored a resounding victory in the elections and Telangana is as much about social justice which apparently was denied to it when part of Andhra Pradesh.
So, here is a caste-wise breakup of the winners in the concluded Assembly elections:
Reddy: 39
Velama: 10
Munnuru Kapu: 9
SC (Mala): 9
Madiga: 5
Muslims: 8
Lambada: 7
Adivasi: 5
Yadav: 5
Kamma: 5
Goud: 4
Brahmin: 2
Vanjara, Mudhiraj, Gangaputra, Perika, Lodha, Netakani, Vaishya: 1 each
While the upper castes comprising the Brahmins, Vaishyas, Reddys, Velamas and Kammas account for 57 seats which is nearly 50% of the seats, the remaining seats are won by other communities, quite a fair representation compared to Andhra Pradesh.
