Voting for Rajasthan and Telangana Assembly elections begins
Voting for 119-member Telangana Assembly and 200-member Rajasthan Assembly began today. While 2,274 candidates are contesting the elections in Rajasthan, 1,821 leaders, including a transgender candidate, are contesting in Telangana. Telangana is witnessing an early election as CM K Chandrashekar Rao dissolved the state assembly in September, around nine months before its term's expiry.
