However, the final percentage is expected to rise slightly as voters standing in queues at the close of polling were allowed to cast their votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polling was <em>largely peaceful<\/em> across all 407 polling stations, with only minor incidents reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The constituency, which includes the upscale Jubilee Hills area along with several middle-class and weaker-section colonies and slums, witnessed *moderate polling throughout the day. The voter turnout this time surpassed the *<em>47.58 per cent recorded during the 2023 Assembly elections<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than <em>4 lakh voters<\/em> were eligible to cast their votes in this by-election, which was necessitated by the death of sitting MLA <em>Maganti Gopinath<\/em> of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A total of <em>58 candidates<\/em> contested the bypoll, with the <em>main fight<\/em> among the *ruling Congress, **opposition BRS, and **BJP. The BRS fielded **Sunitha Gopinath, wife of the late MLA, while the Congress nominated **Naveen Yadav. The BJP once again fielded *<em>Lankala Deepak Reddy<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>counting of votes<\/em> will be held on <em>November 14<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tension flared at a few polling stations in the evening when BRS leaders, including candidate Sunitha, <em>staged protests alleging rigging by the ruling party<\/em>. Heated arguments broke out between BRS leaders and police officials at some locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, police have <em>registered three cases<\/em> against several individuals, including *three Congress MLAs, for alleged **violations of the Model Code of Conduct (MCC). Two cases were filed at the *<em>Madhuranagar Police Station<\/em> against Congress MLAs *Beerla Ilaiah, **Rama Chandra Naik, and **Ramdas Maloth. Another case was filed at the *<em>Borabanda Police Station<\/em> against former BRS MLAs <em>Dasyam Vinay Bhaskar<\/em> and <em>Methuku Anand<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BRS alleged that several Congress legislators from outside the constituency were seen near polling stations and accused the Election Commission of inaction despite complaints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a first, <em>drones were deployed for surveillance<\/em> at all polling stations. About <em>150 drones<\/em> were used for centralized aerial monitoring and real-time situation analysis. <em>Hyderabad Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar<\/em> personally monitored the polling process from the <em>Integrated Police Command and Control Centre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, <em>live webcasting<\/em> was conducted from all polling stations to ensure <em>transparency and peaceful polling<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jubilee Hills By-Election Sees 48.43% Voter Turnout; Polling Largely Peaceful Hyderabad, Nov 11: Over 48 per cent of voters exercised their franchise in the by-election for the Jubilee Hills Assembly constituency in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
