The party created a sensation by winning one third of Mandal Parishad Territorial Constituencies (MPTC) and one quarter of Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTC) in Telangana within sixty days of the formation of the party.. In the 2004 assembly elections, the TRS formed an alliance with Congress (I) and won 26 state assembly seats. The party also won 5 parliament seats at the national level. It joined the governments at both state and central level. In September 2006 the party withdrew support for the central government on the grounds of indecision by the government over the delivery of its electoral promise to create Telangana, which was also put in the Common Minimum Program (CMP). general trsparty.in/ TRS party, Telangana, Telangana Rastra Samiti, Seperate Telangana state movement, Telangana State, Telangana News, TRS party, KCR, KC Chandra Sekhar Rao, Telangana Development, Seperate Telangana State, Hyderabad, Political party, Indian Political parties, Assembly, Andhra Pradesh MLAs, TRS MLAs, TRS MPs, TRS party information, Andhra Pradesh, India Telangana Rashtra Samithi India Parliament Lok Sabha Elections, 2009 Political parties India Telengana Political campaigns India Telengana http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.natlib/collnatlib.00000031 hdl:loc.natlib/mrva0031.0014 http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.natlib/mrva0031.0014 http://webarchives.loc.gov/lcwa0031/*/trsparty.in/ Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., 20540 USA dlc Access restricted to on-site users at the Library of Congress 20100113 mrva0031.0014 eng 20121002
