With the campaign ending for the assembly elections to Telangana, the curtains came down on the elections to the five states of Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Telangana. The campaign touched feverish highs and some despicable lows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Telangana is the last state where elections will be held on November 30, Thursday, the counting for all five states will be on December 3, Sunday. The Telangana Assembly has 119 seats, Rajasthan 199 seats, Madhya Pradesh has 230, Chhattisgarh has 90 seats and Mizoram has 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the last leg of his campaign for Telangana, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi interacted with auto drivers, gig workers and sanitary workers at Mahmood Paradise function hall in Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency of Hyderabad on Tuesday. Gandhi also took an auto ride in a now viral video. The Congress leader has been honing his chops in interacting with workers of all kinds over the last few elections. Gandhi also slipped into an autodriver’s uniform before a selfie storm with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Congress has been staging a hard campaign for the state ever since the Bharat Jodo Yatra when the party won popular grassroots support. Rahul Gandhi told gig workers today that if the Congress came to power in Telangana, it will bring in legislation for the welfare of Gig workers on the lines of a recent law passed in Rajasthan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gandhi was accompanied by state Congress working president and former Indian captain Mohammed Azharuddin, who is the party candidate from Jubilee Hills. Azharuddin had been a Lok Sabha MP earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the ruling Bharatiya Rashtra Samithi (BRS) seeking re-election for the second time, the party has been the recipient of barbs from both the Congress and the BJP. On Tuesday, Union Minister Piyush Goyal addressed a rally where he said the BJP will win the elections and install a chief minister from the OBCs. Goyal said once the BJP comes to power in the state, corruption, appeasement, politics and nepotism will end in the state. Yesterday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra equated both the BRS and the BJP and said both have harmed the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Karimnagar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah the BRS and the Congress have a secret understanding. He claimed any vote for the Congress will go to the BRS. Shah appealed to the people of Telangana to vote BJP in the assembly elections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Shah also noted that there was a groundswell of anger against the BRS in the state and the people didn’t want K Chandrashekhar Rao back as CM. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
