Election campaigning concludes today

The election campaigning for bypolls to 18 assembly constituencies and one Lok Sabha constituency will conclude on Sunday 5 PM. The chief electoral officer Banwar Lal made it clear that the leaders who had come from other places to campaign should not stay back. Bulk SMSes would also be not permitted after 5 PM.

Elucidating on the security measures being taken for bypolls, Banwar Lal has said 138 companies of forces have been deployed from Centre to ensure that bypolls would go on smoothly. For shooting videos at the polling centres, as many as 5,500 persons from IIITs are kept ready, he added. He has also said that so far Rs. 41 crore and liquor worth two crore rupees was seized.

It may be noted that bypolls would be take place on June 12 for the seats that were fallen vacant when some of Congress leaders got disqualified for trying to destabilize the government last year during no confidence motion. Later, these leaders joined YSR Congress party.
