In a desperate attempt to win over voters in the state, political parties have started their final poll campaigns ahead of the
lok sabha elections on Saturday. In order to win over the votes in the villages, parties were hard at work setting up the money and alcohol supplies. Prior to Monday's election, the candidates from the
congress, BRS, and
bjp are scheming to find out where their opponents are strongest and have dispatched teams to entice them.
On Saturday, the final day of the campaign,
amit shah, the national head of the
bjp, and
priyanka Gandhi, the senior
leader of the
congress, spoke at rallies and took part in road shows. Before the
evening campaigning ended, BRS chief K Chandrashekar Rao had a one-hour
news conference at
telangana Bhavan.
According to leaders, in some specified
lok sabha constituencies,
congress and BRS were making a concerted effort to entice voters with cash and alcohol. According to reports, the major political parties are reaching out to voters personally in Khammam, Mahbubnagar, Secunderabad, Karimnagar, and
warangal sectors where a three-corner race is about to take place, in addition to providing cash and alcohol. According to sources, some voters are provided alcohol in exchange for casting their ballots in support of a certain set of voters who are being seduced with cash.
Additionally, the candidates are engaging with
local community members to solicit their support for the election. The leaders of the ruling
congress party are asking voters who are staying outside of the Parliamentary constituency to cast their ballots. Leaders stated that
congress was arranging for transport facilities for voters in the
warangal, Khammam, and
nalgonda sectors who are staying in Hyderabad, for those who are staying far away.
The BRS cadre is also occupied with persuading voters in some sectors, including Secunderabad, Medak, and Chevella, where the
telangana party has a strong chance of winning, to endorse their candidates. Additionally, the
bjp is making every effort to win over supporters by stationing RSS pracharaks throughout the state's outlying territories.
