Speaking on Telangana CM KCR calling a state cabinet meeting on December 4, the day after the counting of votes, BJP leader T Raja said that the CM is dreaming that his government is going to come to power.

He should wake up from his dreams. He is done, his government is not going to come to power in Telangana. Either the BJP or Congress will come to power,\” he added.
