Center Owned by Deccan Chronicle HoldingsPalla Accuses YSRC Of Violence During ZPTC, MPTC Polls
What's behind this
Polling for ZPTC and MPTC seats in North Andhra proceeded peacefully, with the NDA alliance looking to build on its recent municipal election win. Peaceful voting was reported in 44 naxal‑hit areas along the tri‑state borders. In Polavaram district, about 63 % of voters turned out, including families displaced by the Polavaram project. Heavy rain in West Godavari required polling to be shifted to 43 government buildings rather than the usual stations. Polling is also slated for one ZPTC and 18 MPTCs in East Godavari on Friday.
