No victory rally after result in Huzurabad: EC
Telangana chief electoral office has banned victory processions after counting on Tuesday. CEO Shashank Goel issued orders stating that only two persons will be allowed along with the winning candidate to collect the certificate from the returning officer.
There were incidents of skirmishes during voting, but in all, poll authorities declared polling to be peaceful. The BJP had alleged there were lapses in transportation of VVPATs from constituency to counting centre in Karimnagar and a probe was ordered by the Election Commission of India (ECI).
The voters too didn’t disappoint at the end of the high-voltage campaign, coming out in droves for a record turnout of 86.6%.
The campaign cacophony was tuned for voters on a single note: To stick with their six-time MLA Eatala, now out of TRS, or sail with TRS to give a stamp of approval to KCR’s sops and promises. Both TRS and BJP deployed senior leaders, leaving no stone unturned for a win in this grudge match.
The election was necessitated after TRS sacked Eatala Rajender from cabinet over land grabbing allegations.
Though exit polls have indicated an edge to BJP candidate and former TRS minister Eatala Rajender over TRS’ Gellu Srinivas Yadav in the bypoll held on October 30, the ruling party is hopeful of coasting to a victory on the back of its welfare schemes and sops announced during the bitter campaign. Congress’ young face Balmoor Venkat is projected by exit polls to be an also-ran, with the grand old party likely to lose its vote share massively.
