Telangana by-polls start on Tuesday Jul 27

Hyderabad, Jul 26: By-election in twelve constituencies in the Telangana belt in Andhra Pradesh will be held on Tuesday, Jul 27.

The by-polls are being held after 12 legislators supporting the Telangana movement resigned from their seats in support of the movement.

Out of the 12 seats, 10 were in possession of the Telangana Rashtra Samiti while Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) had the other two.

BJP on Monday, Jul 26, appealed to the people to vote for those candidates who resigned in support of Telangana state.

Counting of votes of the bye-election will take place on Friday, Jul 30.
