In Telangana, the election will be held for all 17 Lok Sabha seats today in a single phase
As many as 443 candidates (418 male and 25 female) candidates are in the fray in the 17 constituencies.
Congress leader Renuka Chowdary (Khammam), AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi (Hyderabad), state Congresspresident N Uttam Kumar Reddy (Nalgonda), sitting TRS MP K Kavitha (Nizamabad), daughter of TRS president K Chandrasekhar Rao, are among the prominent candidates who are in fray.
Over 2.97 crore voters, including 1504 transgenders, are eligible to exercise their franchise in the state, which has a total of 34,604 polling stations.
Of them, over 170 are farmers from Nizamabad who have entered the fray to highlight their plight.
Over 79,000 EVMs, 42,000 control units, 46,000 Voter-verifiable paper audit trail (VVPAT)s are being used for the election for which 2 lakh officials have been deployed across 34,604 polling stations.
The Telangana Rashtra Samiti having swept the December 2018 assembly polls is hoping for an encore in the company of Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM while the opposition Congress and BJP appear to be focussed on winning a select number of seats.
The Nizamabad Lok Sabha constituency is a special case as 185 candidates, including over 170 farmers, are in the fray.
In the December 2018, Assembly elections, the TRS bagged 88 seats in the 119-member House, while the Congress bagged only 19.
The BJP could manage only one seat and the Amit Shah-led party, in fact, forfeited deposits in more than 100 Assembly segments.
Compounding problems for the Congress, ten of its MLAs announced their decision to join the TRS during the last month.
In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, the TRS bagged 11 seats, and the Congress two. The BJP, TDP, YSRCP and AIMIM shared one each. The TDP, YSRCP and one Congress Lok Sabha member later joined the TRS.
