Electoral fate of as many as 30 candidates will be known when the final result will be out by evening
The counting of votes polled in Saturday’s fiercely fought by-election to the Huzurabad Assembly constituency is slated to begin at 8 a.m. at the designated counting centre in Karimnagar town on Tuesday even as all eyes are on the outcome of the high-stakes bypoll, which could have far-reaching bearing on the political landscape in the State.
The electoral fate of as many as 30 candidates including that of the BJP candidate and the sitting MLA Eatala Rajender, the ruling TRS candidate Gellu Srinivas Yadav, and the Congress nominee Balmuri Venkat Narsing Rao will be known when the final result of the bypoll will be out by Tuesday evening. The by-election saw a huge voter turnout of 86.64% with as many as 2,05,236 electors of the total voters of 2,36,873 exercising their franchise at the hustings, considered as the prestigious by-election for the ruling TRS and both the national parties – the BJP and the Congress.
The bypoll assumed significance as the former health minister Mr Rajender is seeking re-election from the Huzurabad seat on the BJP ticket after resigning to the MLA post following his expulsion from Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao’s Cabinet over allegations of purchase of assigned lands illegally in May this year. Prohibitory orders have been imposed within 200-metre radius of the counting centre, where the EVMs used in Saturday’s by-election, stored in strongrooms.
