TS Polls Set New Record: Is It Needed?

Telangana elections campaign has hit the penultimate level and things are heating up. The polls are on 30 November and the counting is on 3rd December.

Now, the Telangana elections are setting a new record as three chief minister candidates are contesting in two constituencies each.

KCR is contesting two constituencies – Gajwel and Kamareddy. Revanth Reddy is contesting Kodangal and Kamareddy. Eatala Rajender is contesting Huzurabad and Gajwel.

This is the first time in history that three CM candidates are each contesting two constituencies per head.

Back in Vajpayee regime, there was a proposal two restrict those in government should not contest in two constituencies. This was in 1986. But this move didn’t pass and as a result, there was no restriction.

So, there candidates contesting two constituencies each means there is scope for multiple re election as if a candidate wins two seats, he will have to hold one and leave the other. KCR, Revanth, and Eatala are looking to enforce the same.
