Telangana Assembly Elections Voting LIVE Updates: Voting for the Assembly elections in Telangana concluded across 119 seats on Thursday, 30 November, with the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) and the Congress in a neck-and-neck fight.
While the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is looking to make inroads in the state, Asaduddin Owaisi's All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) is also in the fray.
According to opinion polls so far, the Congress is expected to give a tough fight to K Chandrashekar Rao's decade-long stint as the chief minister.
KCR is contesting from two seats – Gajwel and Kamareddy.
As many as 2,290 contestants are in the fray for the upcoming elections, including KCR and his minister-son KT Rama Rao.
BJP Lok Sabha members Bandi Sanjay Kumar, D Arvind, and Soyam Bapu Rao have been fielded by the saffron party.
Key leaders from the Congress in the fray include Revanth Reddy contesting from Kodangal and Kamareddy, and former cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin contesting from Jubilee Hills.
AIMIM's Akbaruddin Owaisi is contesting from Chandrayangutta.
In 2018, the BRS won 88 of the 119 seats while the Congress came in a distant second with just 19 seats. The BJP won only one seat.
