Polling in the capital villages in Amaravati was peaceful and impressive on Monday. People were determined to cast votes amidst the scorching heat. Small gatherings of people were seen whispering about the likely outcome of the elections amidst intense speculation that the capital shift issue might have a profound impact on it.
The Polling Station (PS) in the Zilla Parishad High School at Mandadam, which is a stone’s throw away from the State Legislature Complex and the Secretariat, was teeming with voters right from the commencement of polling at 7 a.m.
The voting went on smoothly under the watchful gaze of the security forces and webcasting that was arranged inside the polling stations. A large number of voters turned up at other villages like Thullur, Lingayapalem and Rayapudi. The streets wore a deserted look as the people went in droves to exercise their right to vote.
