He said the Congress is set to lose the 2028-29 assembly elections, much like its losses in 1985 and 1994 elections.Arvind’s remarks have come after Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Revanth ‘Mere hi saath judo’ (join me) recently at an event in Hyderabad. Revanth later clarified that not much should be read in PM’s remark.Arvind also said that the political activity in Telangana over the next two years will favour the BJP.
