Heavy rush in bus and railway stations, traffic jams at toll gates on national highways

Several voters, who migrated to the neighbouring States thronged their native places in Andhra Pradesh on Saturday, to exercise their franchise on polling day — May 13 (Monday).

First-time voters studying in various educational institutions outside of their homes, and other electors who live in other States were seen returning to their native villages, cities and towns to cast their votes.

“We are returning to our native village in Krishna district to vote. The Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway was packed with electors returning to their homes,” said a voter, L. Ravi Krishna, who was returning to Kankipadu on a car.
