Polling for the Telangana Assembly election has begun across the State at 7 a.m. on Thursday. The polling for 119 constituencies started on a promising note, with some enthusiastic voters turning up at polling stations to cast their votes to avoid long queues later in the day.
“I’m the third person to vote,” Ramesh, a voter who cast his vote at a polling station in Gandhinagar in Hyderabad, told businessline.
In a keenly contested poll, over 3.15 crore voters are expected to exercise their franchise.
