Telangana election results: What went wrong for K Chandrasekhar Rao's BRS

The over 9-year rule of K Chandrasekhar Rao in Telangana has come to an end and with this his dreams for an immediate national role also seems to have crash-landed. While the BRS leaders sit and analyze the reasons for party's defeat, one of the factors that will be debated is KCR's ambition to go national and change the name of his party in the process. The other important factor that may have played a role in BRS defeat was the anti-incumbency - against the party, the chief minister.
