Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao today congratulated President-elect Ram Nath Kovind on his victory, while BJP's Telangana unit held celebrations on the occasion.
Rao hoped that Kovind would be successful in continuing the federal spirit of the country's democracy, a release from the Chief Minister's office said.
"The CM hoped that under the leadership of Kovind the country will make progress in all fields. The CM also hoped that Ram Nath Kovind will be victorious in continuing the federal spirit which is a part of Indian democracy," it said.
