65 p.c. polling in Andhra Pradesh
0|
Political parties, election officials and the security forces heaved a sigh of relief as the first phase of the elections in Andhra Pradesh, considered crucial in deciding the fortunes of the major political players, passed without any major trouble on Thursday.
Around 65 per cent of the 3.12 crore voters cast their vote in 154 Assembly and 22 Lok Sabha constituencies that constitute more than half the seats. Polling was so brisk from 7 a.m. that a record turnout was expected but, at the end of the day, the polling percentage was less than that of the first phase of the elections in 2004.
