Having been bedridden after undergoing hip replacement surgery, KCR missed the first session of the new Assembly held in December. Despite the BRS losing power to the Congress in the November 30 elections, KCR retained the Gajwel seat but was defeated in Kamareddy. The BRS secured 39 seats in the 119-member Assembly.

KCR, who suffered a hip fracture in a fall at his farmhouse in Siddipet district on December 8, underwent successful hip replacement surgery the same day. Discharged on December 15, KCR has been on a recovery and rest period.
