Out of the 21, Two MLAs expired and the party lost these seats in the by-elections. So far seven Congress MLAs have joined TRS, reducing its strength to 12. According to the numbers in Telangana Assembly, a party should win at least 12 MLA seats to become the main opposition. If Congress loses one more MLA, it will lose the status.

Telangana CM KCR seem to be keen on decimating Congress now after completely killing TDP (TS) and YSR Congress in the state. If that happens, it will be a major embarrassment for the party which is already struggling at the National level.
