Hyderabad, March 11 : With the campaigning for elections to two seats of the Telangana Legislative Council ending Friday, all the contestants were busy making their last bid attempts to woo over 10 lakh graduates who are eligible to cast their votes.
The campaigning reached a feverish pitch on Thursday as leaders of the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and opposition BJP and Congress and independent candidates tried to reach out to voters in Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar and Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda constituencies.
Key leaders of these parties and candidates addressed a series of meetings with graduates from various walks of life, seeking their support for Sunday’s polls.
Major contestants also tried to catch the attention of graduates through online campaign, highlighting what they propose to do and attacking their rivals.
The polls assumed significance in view of the recent victory of the BJP in the by-election to Dubbak Assembly seat and its impressive performance in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) polls.
Concerned over the emergence of the BJP as the main opposition, the TRS is going all out to retain Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda seat and wrest Hyderabad-Rangareddy-Mahabubnagar from the saffron party.
