It was curtains down on the three weeks of high-decibel campaign for the Telangana elections as the clock struck 5 p.m. on Tuesday in Telangana while it ended an hour earlier in 13 constituencies in the interior areas.
Heli-hopping by the top leaders of all the political parties crisscrossing the State marked the last day of the campaign with impressive crowds welcoming them at roadshows and public meetings. The political parties made their last-ditch efforts to woo the voters towards their respective parties.
The high-voltage campaign was expected with high stakes for all three major political parties — Congress, BJP and the BRS — and there was a no-holds-barred attack on the leaders and the parties by all the parties as they tried to run down them with allegations and charges more than spreading positivity for their respective parties.
