Political pundits predict that the TRS and the Congress will have to recalibrate their strategies in the coming days.

KCR's Delhi Dreams: if BJP wins Munugode even by a slender margin, the TRS will be forced to abandon its Delhi dreams. It may have to temporarily put on hold its plans for national expansion. He may have to remain focused on Telangana politics.
KTR's CM Dreams: If the BJP wins Munugode, it will go quite aggressive and there could be a deluge of leaders from both the TRS and the Congress. This means KCR will have to remain a Chief Minister to keep the party under check. He will have to ensure that there is no poaching of the party MLAs. All this means that KTR would have to remain on the sidelines for some more time. He may not become the CM anytime soon.
Pressure on TRS MLAs: There would be intense pressure on the TRS MLAs to resign and seek re-election so that they too would get the election largesse. Also, several MLAs would be forced to look sideways. They would even think of joining the BJP.
Congress Future: KCR's biggest task would be to keep the Congress party alive in the state. A strong Congress would mean that the anti-TRS votes are split. This will ensure KCR's return to power in 2023. So, KCR would be marshalling his resources to keep Congress stay afloat till 2023.
