In the view of Huzurabad by-election, the district collector passed the orders to shut all the wine shops and restaurants selling liquor in the constituency for three days.
Following the orders, the wine shops in Huzurabad were shut down at 7 pm on Thursday. The wine shops will be reopened after the election i.e. at 7 pm on Saturday.
The collector also said that 144 section will be in place in Huzurabad until the end of polling time. “No campaign or meetings will be held,” the collector said. He further added that by-election will be held according to the COVID-19 norms prescribed the Central Election Commission (CEC.)
It is to be noted, after the resignation of Mr. Eatala Rajender as the Huzurabad MLA and the TRS member, the Huzurabad Assembly seat fell vacant. With the political tension between Mr. Eatala Rajender and the TRS President Mr. K. Chandrashekar Rao, the Huzurabad by election is said to be a serious battle between the BJP and the TRS. Since Mr. Eatala Rajender joined the BJP and is to contest the Huzurabad by election on a BJP ticket, the chances of victory of the BJP and the TRS are at 50-50. Both the parties are trying to get the attention of voters and gain the maximum number of votes for their respective MLA candidates.
The by election for the vacant post of the Huzurabad Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA) would be held on the 30th of October. The counting of the votes would be held on the 2nd of November, following which results would be announced.
Stay tuned for further updates.
