Can Munugode Bypoll Beat 2018's Voting Percentage?
By: Tupaki Desk | 3 Nov 2022 6:29 AM GMT
Tense gripped the poll-bound Munugode as the polling date arrived. The election started at 7 Am and the voters will be allowed to cast their votes till 6 PM. Massive arrangements were made for the polls and CRPF forces entered the Assembly region and took the region into their control on Wednesday itself.
More than 2.41 lakh voters will use their vote rights in the ongoing polls. The election has been in the news as political experts believe that the Munugode by-election would predict the voters' pulse in the next general elections. Following this, the major parties want to win the polls at any cost.
Despite all this, the Munugode bypoll did not get the ideal start and the reports say that only 11.2 percent of votes were polled till 9 AM. It is a big wonder that the much-awaited bypoll started with not so good percentage. The percentage might get big with time passing.
Though the election officers seized money from a few agents, the election went calmly as of now with no unwanted scenes taking place. The election officers made sure that women won't face issues and made a dedicated polling booth for women ill all women staff.
Now all eyes are on the voting percentage and people are showing interest to see if the ongoing polls can beat the previous record. When the Assembly constituency went to the polls in 2018, close to 91.38 percent of votes were polled and the record might be broken now.
Compared to the previous elections, the voter count increased, and earlier there were reports which said that around 30 k voters enrolled for new votes increasing the voters' percentage. The political parties gave their best in the campaign and reportedly spent money like water. It is also said that the parties gave gold coins to voters.
The by-poll became unstoppable with former Congress MLA Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy resigning as MLA and leaving the party. He took the BJP route and became the party's candidate. On the flip side, the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi, now BRS opted for former MLA Kusukuntla Prabhakar Reddy, while the grand old Congress went with Palvai Sravanthi Reddy.
