Voters queued up in good numbers on thursday across telangana to seal the fate of nearly 2,500 mla aspirants in the polling being held for 119 assembly segments in the state, where the BRS aims to retain power for a third time while the congress is keen to upset the ruling party’s chances. The BJP, also keen on forming its first government in the southern state, has left no stone unturned to ensure victory and had deployed a battery of national leaders and Chief Ministers of the saffron-party ruled states to reach out to the public during the 50-day long campaigning.

The BRS has been in the ruling saddle since 2014, following grant of statehood to Telangana. As of 1 PM on thursday, 36.68 per cent voters had cast their votes, election commission officials said.
