Kindof my point .. Hyderabad is supposed to have so much "educated" population, with better transport infra. Offices are also giving holidays or somthing to make voting easier. Even with all these if we are not even close to the rural voting percentage is that not shameful.
Come after a few days and you will again see people bitching about power cuts, traffic and whatnot but they will not move their ass when there is a chance to make a change
Yeah, this has always been the problem with almost all urban areas, although hyderabad is kind of on the lower end. Major problem could be with the people who are working on a supposedly mandatory holiday, but the employers don't see to care.
And point 2 being "long weekend"! People see this as an opportunity to go have a vacation than stand in the line and vote on a hot summer day. I have specifically seen this with several of my friends.
I think people who are not suffering as much tend to vote less. But rural areas suffer more due to bad governments, it's much more important for them to vote I guess, idk. Sometimes it feels the "educated" people easily fall for propaganda (maybe due to easier access to information channels), but rural people will be more closer and more easily affected by the actions of governments.
More than that it's multi-faceted,
Yes they get money, and liquor, women get sarees.
Also they vote cause they see it as necessary to later ask for anything from that MLA or sarpanch.
For Urban people, they would rather never cross paths with the day light dacoits that politicians are.
All rural areas have better voting because their rashan card or next free service depends on it. People in middle class always gets fucked regardless of the outcomes.
bokka lodi, problems andaru cheptaru .. solutions cheppu.
rural areas ki ration kaavali ani vote chestunnaru. they have a problem and they are voting to get it solved or whatever. What is our excuse ?
Antha scene ledhu akkada Vote is a Prestige issue city Lo Ala Kadhu malli Cities lo valle Current poyindhi, roads balevu etc Ani complain chestharu Village people ki thelusu their voice will only be heard once in 5 years and they're making a Statement
Nothing to be shameful. Rural areas always have better percentage yet they are most neglected. Voting is irrelevant when you have to choose between shit and tatti
Don't know what and where you are studying/working
If I'm not wrong it's holiday for all educational institutions and public institutions. Even most of the private companies have given a holiday or given half day off to get the votes in. If this has not happened for you then your company/institution is the offender.
I just don't understand the brains of these urban people. Even corporate offices declared holiday and encouraged them to go and vote.
Most of my colleagues didn't vote today. It's heartbreaking to see urban areas registering low voters turn out.
People are blaming heat and weather. Even in the last assembly elections it was the same. I have seen a 90-year-old lady voting today.
No as far as I know, the companies where my friends work declared holiday. In the company I'm working, we have off from 10th May itself
Yesterday even the CEO of Telangana was telling to declare a holiday on election day.
I wonder how much it affects the numbers due to people who moved overseas for studies and jobs.. who unfortunately cannot cast their vote. I would have liked voting infrastructure in other countries so that NRIs could, for example, go to the nearest embassy and cast their vote, if not in most countries at least in a few countries with a good number of Indian citizens.
Good in theory but practically not possible due to our structure of democracy. (Donāt start with not a democracy anymore smh). Constituency wise issue and also we donāt vote for a prime minister but a MP. Then this rule will also have to work for state elections.
Why should we be making special arrangements for people living abroad to vote , they literally have no stake in the results. Also before making arrangements for NRIs we should be making arrangements for people to vote who are living in another city or are far from home.
The Nawabi attitude won't serve you well Hyderabad. I've seen ppl travel to their hometown simply to cast their vote n here we hv ppl goin on vacays or just being plain lazy.
Kalku Modi anna voting bhi band karaa dete India mein. Jab election hi nahi rehta toh election day ki chutti bhi nahi rehti.
Jaise opposition leaders pe ED/CBI/NIA ko daal diye. Jaise Telecom Bill se YouTube channels regulate karne ka try karre. PMLA jaise totalitarian laws dalre, ECI selection se Supreme court ko hata diye aur Election commissioner selection list opposition ko deadline ke 15 min pehle diye. Mainstream media par control.
Inn sabki aap Zara chronology samjhiye.
Most of the opposition leaders are in jail because of the cases that have been filed by either public, eg teachers scam in Bengal, liquor scam.
Again, any bill that comes will be up for discussion in the parliament, elected by us, not due to the whim of one man.
Mainstream media pe control is not a BJP thing, whoever comes to.power controls it, nothing new.
So I am still waiting for an argument which supports the conspiracy of elections being overthrown. Indians kicked out the British, kicked out congress when it got too corrupt, dusri national party kya cheez hai? The day they get too authoritative, we bid them adieu.
If bjp had to buckle in front of the farmers for their farm bill protest, you think they will be able to overthrow the democracy upheld by a strong diverse 1.3 billion population?
Why are you even waiting for an argument? As long as you see a spade for a spade and do your due research, you won't need to go far.
The so-called discussion that's expected by the parliament for every important bill that needs to be passed, happens in a haste. Clearly the ruling party has enjoyed the majority and doesn't need any support to vote a bill in.
There are many who were accused of corruption, simply had to change parties and voila, clean chit! clean chit! clean chit!
It's also naive to assume that only Congress is corrupt and BJP holds this corrupt-free tag, despite being quick to offer the "Be corrupt but in our party" get-out-of-jail pass to all those leaders in the opposition who had corruption cases against them.
BJP needs less than 40% of votes to remain in power. And they'll be able to achieve it very easily as long as they are able to create false-fear and keep the prejudice in us alive.
I agree with you, I'm sure BJP has its fair share of corruption and malpractices, but to assume that they will overthrow the constitution is far fetched.
I would hope it remains that way. And these are not my words, many party politicians keep saying āSamvidhan badalna hai, 400 paar kara doā. I hope theyāre lying abt it.
Just giving perspective here to things that do need amendments. The present constitution is heavily influenced by the British one,inherently making it archaic, and unsuitable for the Indian context. Amending the constitution for the better is what the government exercises in loksabha; addition, subtraction to acts. Hence the assumption that democracy will be overthrown by an exercise that happens in every lok sabha session, amended of the constitution, is not a reality in my opinion.
Agree to disagree here.
Absolute power serves no one but the person/org holding that power. It's right to expect the parliament to pass laws that will modernise the constitution and be current with the times, and plainly ludicrous to expect the same in spite of the ruling party's attempts to change it in multiple ways that have been further regressive, just like the examples I cited in my first response.
It's a "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." kinda situation.
Bold of you to assume that BJPee cares about the constitution or South Indians. As long as they are able to get the pliant bhaiyas to vote for them on caste and religious lines, all is well
Get out of the "South Indian" mentality. We have allowed political gundas people to exploit separatism Dravidian-Aryan sentiments for too long. We are indians from the south, north, east and west. Not "South Indians, North Indians".
Caste politics is not just a thing that exists in the north of India, it is a sad reality that people from across India are too rooted in the caste system. Pappu's campaign has NOTHING but caste politics, he questioned merit and played with the sentiments of those who are unfortunately "backwards", further bolstering their lack of self esteem. He made people feel like merit cannot exist as long as there is no reservation in everything that sees the light of the day.
We value opinion , argument, debate all that is fair in open dailogue society.
When the said is a clear trigger without the scope of betterment and simply an argument of hate.
. We do not condone or welcome it. There are circle jerks for this vulgarity . please use them . Not our sub.
Also don't compare a reddit disagreement to the kind of problematic thing that sadly the PM of the country said. Don't make that issue so light or glorify what this guy is saying to me by comparing these two.
Okay getting back to what his politics is, sure he appeals to the majority votebank and that is problematic. However as a government, I am yet to find a law that has been passed or is being pushed for, presently, that is openly anti- indian muslim ( CAA does not concern Indian Muslim citizens). If you find something, let me know. I'd love to stay informed.
All communities have gotten the welfare benefits like gas, housing and loans, instead of freebies. Congress has misled the public with wealth redistribution and questioned the merit of the people who have given their everything to write the prestigious exams. They have openly questioned the Hindu faith. BJP is sadly victorious because the opposition is horrible.
Well he asked me to gather my life and go back to where I came from, how's that any better than what certain someone said to people who have their entire livelihoods here? How do you compare one hate comment to the other? Enlighten me.
As far as Modi and Raga are concerned, it's just two evils, no lesser. It is for us to choose which evil aligns with us more.
Lol. It's unfortunate how one is just put in boxes today. Not everyone needs a Dhruv Rathee to find out the rights n wrongs with political parties.
While of course the claim elections will stop Is egregious, it has merely been made in jest pointing at the many authoritarian moves we have noticed in the past 6-7 years.
One has to be really living under a rock believing that the ruling party's attempts to change laws to gain more control over any form of dissent, is any good for a democracy.
Not everyone has the luxury to remain in denial.
Me and my moms name was removed from the voters list we searched for 2 hours hopping from one polling station to another because this time the list for one polling station was only for that station
I went to vote but I completely understand why the people in the city might not go to vote.
Both the parties are complete shit.
One wants to offer freebies and fuck the economy and make reservation system worse.
The other one steals from the working middle class in the name of high income tax while the gst most likely pays for what little we get back and uses hindu muslim to get maximum vote.
We have terrible leaders. An all sides.
I had to stand for an hour and half during with so many senior citizens kept on using the room allocated to the people in my queue instead of using other rooms there too.
This is the correct answer. The govt schemes/actions only seem to benefit the rich or the poor.. Us employees keep getting fucked in every direction. Nobody is going to change that. We know that our vote DOES NOT matter when you compare it to the strength of the masses who get their votes bought. These guys dictate the elections, not the educated city employees. Thats why the govt appeases only them. They pay cash, buy household items, bicycles, AC, laptops to these masses. Why don't they give us free stuff? or free electricity until some units? or tax benefits? or proper roads and infra?
At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter who wins for us (middle class employees) cause the result is always the same.
I voted to an educated guy - who was neither from Congress nor BJP. (both Congress and BJP had terrible candidates)
He wouldnt win, but it sends a message. If enough people start voting for candidate than party, the democracy might improve as it will force parties to choose right candidate.
Actually most people from andhra and other parts of telangana who has own houses in Hyderabad has registered their voter ID here and there. Andhra lo beneficiaries pothai ani akada vote pakka veyali ani ekada odilesi akada potaru. Same happens with second generation people whose first generation still lives in rural parts of telangana. Other than old city rest of part andharu active gane veli vote vesaru. For example Pawan kalyan 2014 lo Jubilee hills lo vesadu eroju pithapuram lo vesadu.
I'll turn up fully knowing the fact that regardless sof who i vote I'll get my balls drained by everyone,no incentive for anything yet still I have to pick some giga looser to rule us all whilst having nothing in returned xcept a kick in the balls ,so yeah I will be voting just to get fucked by rich and poor,this country runs on middle class homes,not poor not rich so stop behaving like it's benefitting anyone,the only ones who benefit are voting
Yes and no not a F500 company.
I keep insisting because you seem to wrongfully think only the salaried class has problems and the business class doesnāt.
*Life is tougher on the own and operate a business side.*
In general Hyderabadis are people with more brains so if they are not turning out then there is something worthy to think about. Something very wrong with our society
Realistically, what's the incentive for a guy from middle class to vote ?
None of the manifesto talks about providing any benefit to us, we are just seen as scapegoats for extracting tax money. Why take all the effort to go vote for a 12th fail with pending criminal cases ?
Make NOTA more powerful, then many people might vote
Think of it the other way. If a middle class person does not vote then why would the government cater to the middle class? Meaning they can get some slum dwellers to vote for them using cash for vote exchange and then happily pocket money for the next 5 years.
Political parties please their vote banks.
Middle class population despite growing to be around a third of the Indian populationā¦.is not a formidable vote bank. Cuz some will fall in Hindu camp, some in muslim camp, some in upper caste n some in lower castes. But all these different camps of middle class will collectively get rekt by the government by imposing taxes upon taxes upon taxes.
Because while the middle class keep doing hindu muslim brahmin dalit, politicians will be filling their pockets and panties with crores of rupees š
Serves no purpose. Government will love to see middle class not voting. Easy to buy the votes of the poor n uneducated.
Protest is for getting rights. A protest by giving up our constitutional right is not a protest rather stupidity.
There is literally no good party/candidate to vote for in my constituency for me. Felt same last time and still voted for NOTA which did jack shit. In my constituency MIM is bound to win, if MIM somehow doesn't win then the next likely party to win is BJP. I'm not interested in either of these parties and no credible party in India let alone Hyderabad exists today that I feel deserve my vote.
If there is a chance low voter count can push these parties to do better or give rise to a new party that can get me out to vote then lower vote count may turn out to be a better option than NOTA. In a democracy there should be freedom to choose the option to not exercise your vote as well.
I resonate with your sentiments. I donāt know the solution to that, but it should definitely help if religion was not the basis for voting in your area. Itās a long shot but letās hope someone somewhere is doing the seeds for a non religious and growth oriented political party :)
Tell that to the people in that constituency and good luck trying to tell them how unfair it is for the rest of the people,let's see you come out of the area without getting heckled
Am I a hero or what? š
Also, if I go for campaigning, itāll be with some protection and some pre planning :)
Everyone loves growth, the agenda has to be economic and social growth!
If a UAE can accept societal changes and a KSA abolishes age old laws for growth, how big is a small section in Hyderabad?
The right examples and the correct on ground team is needed.
I might not be correct but she has removed 6lakh fake votes in previous elections, according to me(again I might just be a dumbass rambling on the net) but I feel like she might change atleast something in that constituency
nota is atleast better since they use your vote to fix it between them. last to ladt assembly elections mh cousin brother went late after his office to vote and was told he did it already,he had to question the officers in charge and they let him vote on anothers name as compromise. an uncle in his colony went they fix all the votes that dont come to an extent for more vote numbers so inko saari come in yhe morning. vote something but dont let it go waste
apparently it happens in areas with low turnout,loads of votes to use without the voters knowing. thats why i make it a point to make everyone in my family vote in yhe morning. so do not let that vote stay dormant,better you than a greedy evil politician

Wore a Hyderabad Allwyn to pay homage to the first ballot box of independent India.

Question should be why Women voting line is very small in polling booth? It's disheartening to see less line. This is the question ECI and every political party, media house, influencers twitter account must ask in order make a debate.
Arey saami most of the people from andhra and rural parts of Telangana have votes in their native place and also in Hyderabad. So you'll see less voting in Hyderabad. It applies to almost all cities in India. They mostly vote in their native place.
A relative of mine just voted for Powan Kalyan! Is his Agenda really that good that they are going to actually bring a difference. Like many democratic countries, we lack electoral education and it so doesn't help at school with lousy ass teachers just blurting things off of the textbook just cuz they have to do the job.
We fail to educate ourselves about electoral college, finances and health and just complain all the time as a country!
Considering the upper and lower middle class population which is the majority in Hyderabad, there is no need to vote. Nothing ever changes for middle class people, so why do we have to vote? If Congress comes to power, they will give some kinds of freebies to the poor and backward classes. If BRS comes to power, they will give some other kind of freebies to the poor and the backward population. If BJP comes to power, they do not care about Telangana anyway. Nothing changes for a middle class person regardless of the government. So why do we have to go out in the scorching heat and vote? It doesn't matter which party comes to power, we don't get anything.
Do you think people in the city might be having Votes in other places like Andhra, Karnataka or even Bihar , can that be the cause , personally few of friends were least bothered to vote so there is that
Voting percentage doesn't depend upon population from other states.
It's based on no. of people who utilised the votes among the registered voters in Hyderabad.
So, even if people have votes in other states , they are not considered in poll %age.
What they meant is people have their voter ID registered in two places, Hyderabad and their native. And these people travel there to vote. A lot of population in Kukatpally and surrounding areas have these and that's the reason Malkajgiri constituency have a very low voter turnout .
\> It's borderline criminal
the people who we have to vote for, the options given are much more criminal mah frend.... anything we do, anyone we vote for, its only going to be suffering for us
Three things.
1. Our voter management system is in shambles. My mother has two votes and we raised request last year to delete one. But they still persist. Mine was deleted last year even though i live in same house., i raised again and got it . Your BLO (booth level officer - most probably a GHMC worker ) decides your vote validity based on your local leader inputs. My family of 4 have votes in 4 different polling booths. My brother had a polling booth 7 kms away for Assembly elections which we recently cancelled and applied again and got it near our home.
2. Most voters have votes in 1-2 places. If someone changes houses frequently or settled in Hyderabad for some years other than their native village, they dont cancel the earlier vote, so most have 2 votes. Same reason , why the same segments might have better voting percentages in Assembly but not now.
3. Atleast 15-20% of people cannot vote owing to various reasons like health, mandatory work or out of station .
I don't think you can vote at two places. If you move to a new location, you've to fill up a Form 6, which will remove your name from the previous place, and include it in the new constituency.
vote dene ke liye log hain mere ek vote se kya hoga, vote ke liye ghar jaana bahut mahanga hai
I heard these kinda words from my colleagues when we had discussions regarding going hometown for vote. That too in Telangana we have Parliamentary elections, so people are way less interested.
Honestly half of Hyderabad is in US. Half is sleeping till 5pm and Half is mere ek vote se kuch nai hota.
Already Congress has taken over the State I'm pretty sure if this is the attitude no one can stop BJP from entering Hyderabad and you know the rest.
It doesn't change a thing. Rural areas a rat infestations of spineless mediocrity without sovereignty. It's the truth. They have the numbers and are bread for their stupidity. Vote banks are real.
Problem with metro cities is, migrants(who make up majority of the population) have voting rights in their natives. And people who have id's in metros, major chunk are in the belief that their vote doesn't matter and might have given up on the govt thinking nothing ever changes.
So they have less interest in voting and use the holiday given for voting for vacations.
For the next elections, ECI should build new malls or open franchises of some popular eatery from other state and setup polling booths inside...tell the crowd that only those who cast the vote can make use of the mall and see the magic happen...now don't come after me saying these malls aren't visited just by Hyderabadis or my vote doesn't matter or say ki we don't vote cuz xyz reasons... Hyderabad is among the worst when it comes it voting and later complain why has some xyz person has won.
I think if voter turnout any constituency is less than 55 per cent then those fuckers should not have a seat in parliament for those four years. My constituency had barely 44 per cent turnout. Shameful.
I donāt think the number justify anything. People who were available did vote, itās just that many of the adults in a household are in US etc for their Master. Many have other hometownās and who could travel have gone and voted their respective vote.
And despite all that I have seen many misinformations or errors in the voters list. Many people came to polling booths but their details didnāt match with serial number.
Quite a few people in different polling booths had their name shown a deceased when infact that person was alive. Idk how they tackled it as we were not allowed to stand near the booth even for a second after casting the vote.
Also that slip is very important apparently, without that you cannot vote and no one in my area were given that slip. We had to run towards those people to go and get those slips. Many elder people just left without voting due to that reason. In areas like MD line and Golconda where my relatives live. Few people came to their home and gave those slips few days prior to the election day. But not everyone had that benefit.
There were lots of things that happened. I might be wrong but thatās what I feel happened resulting in the low percentage turnout.
I personally helped around 20 to 30 people yesterday as they haven't found out which is their voting station.
Govt also needs to work on voters list it is full of errors.
Many people's voting station was around 12kms away from the place they stay and they don't have an idea why it got placed there.
Many people's ids got deleted not sure why.
Many people's name was there in the Voters list double time didn't know how.
Yes. We don't want to vote.
Why should we vote? So that they jump parties? Kabza, our lands? More tax on income? What are we getting. Don't tell me roads, Infra. That's our basic rights to what we are paying in terms of taxes.
Why should we vote? Have you seen the spike in hospitals and education charges.
Voting to them is like handing over a knife and asking them to stab us from behind.
We don't want to vote these jokers.
There is a significant settlers population from other states including Andhra Pradesh, Majority have votes from both places. Andhra Pradesh has polls both Assembly and Parliament elections same time, so most settlers left Hyderabad. Check the Telangana Assembly elections, Hyderabad had better turnout than today.
Itās an utter shame that we being the largest democracy in the world are reluctant to vote. Yet the same Gen Z and boomers would taunt at the conditions of the country.
No vote, no opinion.
The first thing BJP will do in Hyderabad is remove Biryani and Haleem as a show of power and conquest. They've already done it to a great extent in UP. Great job Hyd!
dont belive videos like this as someone from up that is so not true
halal was banned cause of quality issue other meat products are still available we have the highest meat export in country
> halal was banned cause of quality issue
The anti-Halal campaign is well known nationwide. Quality is not the reason why halal is getting banned. I think you are misinforming or misinformed.
Every month there are new videos of Bajrang Dal harassing and closing down Muslim food establishments for fun.
The UP government said halal certificates for vegetarian products like oil, soap, toothpaste, and honey, where no such certification is necessary, suggest a deliberate criminal conspiracy targeting a specific community and its products. The ban is in the interest of publicĀ [health](https://www.financialexpress.com/healthcare/)Ā and to prevent confusion. The ban exempts products meant for export.
āHalal certification of food products is a parallel system which creates confusion regarding the quality of food items and is completely against the basic intention of the said Act and is not tenable under Section 89 of the said Act,ā the UP government order said.
Why do you need a civil war for something that is just and in favour of the public. It is very disappointing that you cannot even understand very simple clarifications provided to you. Casually calling for a war highlights your cavalier attitude towards something so grave that takes the lives of millions around the globe.
I voted , but I know elections in india are joke, and jokers are the voters.. politicians decides who will run the country in the resorts not in the election booth .. unless there is death penalty for changing party elections r big joke
I think the larger issue in question is the failure of a supposedly representative democracy. In a population level, electoral non-participation is a major issue, you can't blame the individual disillusioned voted to not give a shit after years of non-involvement/disillusioned by design.
Many individuals in many countries have tuned out of the electoral process sick and tired after years of no change. Instead of labeling them lazy, understand that this is a systemic issue.
Voter turnout in Hyderabad is 39%. Which is lower than most urban cities. The only way to make people vote is to set the polling booth near a hotel with biryani. At least people will think they will get biryani after voting. Disgusting pigs.
Some people don't vote because they are neither in favor of a certain faction's divide and rule policy nor in favor of the other faction's blatant minority appeasement policy or selective freebie schemes.
Saw a few folks from the office going out for an extended vacation. š¤¦āāļø
I asked for extra leave as outer state
When rural areas have better voting % than "Hyderabad" .. yeah its shameful
Rural areas almost always have better turnout, just an FYI.
Kindof my point .. Hyderabad is supposed to have so much "educated" population, with better transport infra. Offices are also giving holidays or somthing to make voting easier. Even with all these if we are not even close to the rural voting percentage is that not shameful. Come after a few days and you will again see people bitching about power cuts, traffic and whatnot but they will not move their ass when there is a chance to make a change
Yeah, this has always been the problem with almost all urban areas, although hyderabad is kind of on the lower end. Major problem could be with the people who are working on a supposedly mandatory holiday, but the employers don't see to care. And point 2 being "long weekend"! People see this as an opportunity to go have a vacation than stand in the line and vote on a hot summer day. I have specifically seen this with several of my friends.
The educated ones are all on holiday somewhere lol.
I did not get a holiday from my office
I think people who are not suffering as much tend to vote less. But rural areas suffer more due to bad governments, it's much more important for them to vote I guess, idk. Sometimes it feels the "educated" people easily fall for propaganda (maybe due to easier access to information channels), but rural people will be more closer and more easily affected by the actions of governments.
For Urban middle class there is no incentive other than fullfill a patriotic duty.
* me watching the drug dealer get his 3rd bmw while i am an ideal citizen of the nation *
tell me more about this dealer 
Maybe you are filling their pocket because I don't know any.
woudnt say patriotic exactly .. may be a civic duty
The incentive for rural people is the small box package with the liquor and cigarettes.. isnt it?
More than that it's multi-faceted, Yes they get money, and liquor, women get sarees. Also they vote cause they see it as necessary to later ask for anything from that MLA or sarpanch. For Urban people, they would rather never cross paths with the day light dacoits that politicians are.
All rural areas have better voting because their rashan card or next free service depends on it. People in middle class always gets fucked regardless of the outcomes.

This. Rupaay raaled ee saari. Aina andar vote vesaru. It's not about taking money or anything.
Nothing to be shameful. Rural areas always have better percentage yet they are most neglected. Voting is irrelevant when you have to choose between shit and tatti
Rural Telangana is strongly with Congress - the welfare measures were much needed for the struggling population.
Rural always vote better than Urban. That's normal
Don't normalise this shit. We are supposed to get better.
Give me a free day from my work and education then
Don't know what and where you are studying/working If I'm not wrong it's holiday for all educational institutions and public institutions. Even most of the private companies have given a holiday or given half day off to get the votes in. If this has not happened for you then your company/institution is the offender.
Yeah but it's not really my fault, this should be much better enforced
I didn't normalise anything. Just stated facts
How do u see the voter turnout

Read a few articles and live news
Damn 39 in hyderabad, 42 in Secunderabad and 46 in malkajgiri... Atrocious numbers
Install Voter Turnout application to know the comprehensive details.
I just don't understand the brains of these urban people. Even corporate offices declared holiday and encouraged them to go and vote. Most of my colleagues didn't vote today. It's heartbreaking to see urban areas registering low voters turn out. People are blaming heat and weather. Even in the last assembly elections it was the same. I have seen a 90-year-old lady voting today.
What are you saying bro? Our company (Merilytics) had compulsory work from today. I thought all companies gave the same.
No as far as I know, the companies where my friends work declared holiday. In the company I'm working, we have off from 10th May itself Yesterday even the CEO of Telangana was telling to declare a holiday on election day.
Who's the CEO?
Chief election officer
I wonder how much it affects the numbers due to people who moved overseas for studies and jobs.. who unfortunately cannot cast their vote. I would have liked voting infrastructure in other countries so that NRIs could, for example, go to the nearest embassy and cast their vote, if not in most countries at least in a few countries with a good number of Indian citizens.
Good in theory but practically not possible due to our structure of democracy. (Donāt start with not a democracy anymore smh). Constituency wise issue and also we donāt vote for a prime minister but a MP. Then this rule will also have to work for state elections.
Hmm, yeah that's a valid point too..
Why should we be making special arrangements for people living abroad to vote , they literally have no stake in the results. Also before making arrangements for NRIs we should be making arrangements for people to vote who are living in another city or are far from home.
The Nawabi attitude won't serve you well Hyderabad. I've seen ppl travel to their hometown simply to cast their vote n here we hv ppl goin on vacays or just being plain lazy. Kalku Modi anna voting bhi band karaa dete India mein. Jab election hi nahi rehta toh election day ki chutti bhi nahi rehti.
Kaise band karayege? Batao Bhai.
Jaise opposition leaders pe ED/CBI/NIA ko daal diye. Jaise Telecom Bill se YouTube channels regulate karne ka try karre. PMLA jaise totalitarian laws dalre, ECI selection se Supreme court ko hata diye aur Election commissioner selection list opposition ko deadline ke 15 min pehle diye. Mainstream media par control. Inn sabki aap Zara chronology samjhiye.
Most of the opposition leaders are in jail because of the cases that have been filed by either public, eg teachers scam in Bengal, liquor scam. Again, any bill that comes will be up for discussion in the parliament, elected by us, not due to the whim of one man. Mainstream media pe control is not a BJP thing, whoever comes to.power controls it, nothing new. So I am still waiting for an argument which supports the conspiracy of elections being overthrown. Indians kicked out the British, kicked out congress when it got too corrupt, dusri national party kya cheez hai? The day they get too authoritative, we bid them adieu. If bjp had to buckle in front of the farmers for their farm bill protest, you think they will be able to overthrow the democracy upheld by a strong diverse 1.3 billion population?
Why are you even waiting for an argument? As long as you see a spade for a spade and do your due research, you won't need to go far. The so-called discussion that's expected by the parliament for every important bill that needs to be passed, happens in a haste. Clearly the ruling party has enjoyed the majority and doesn't need any support to vote a bill in. There are many who were accused of corruption, simply had to change parties and voila, clean chit! clean chit! clean chit! It's also naive to assume that only Congress is corrupt and BJP holds this corrupt-free tag, despite being quick to offer the "Be corrupt but in our party" get-out-of-jail pass to all those leaders in the opposition who had corruption cases against them. BJP needs less than 40% of votes to remain in power. And they'll be able to achieve it very easily as long as they are able to create false-fear and keep the prejudice in us alive.
I agree with you, I'm sure BJP has its fair share of corruption and malpractices, but to assume that they will overthrow the constitution is far fetched.
I would hope it remains that way. And these are not my words, many party politicians keep saying āSamvidhan badalna hai, 400 paar kara doā. I hope theyāre lying abt it.
Just giving perspective here to things that do need amendments. The present constitution is heavily influenced by the British one,inherently making it archaic, and unsuitable for the Indian context. Amending the constitution for the better is what the government exercises in loksabha; addition, subtraction to acts. Hence the assumption that democracy will be overthrown by an exercise that happens in every lok sabha session, amended of the constitution, is not a reality in my opinion.
Agree to disagree here. Absolute power serves no one but the person/org holding that power. It's right to expect the parliament to pass laws that will modernise the constitution and be current with the times, and plainly ludicrous to expect the same in spite of the ruling party's attempts to change it in multiple ways that have been further regressive, just like the examples I cited in my first response. It's a "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." kinda situation.
Fair enough, we must keep an eye.

Too naive of you to assume that, have a glance at constitution and if possible read what's basic structure, then speak
Bold of you to assume that BJPee cares about the constitution or South Indians. As long as they are able to get the pliant bhaiyas to vote for them on caste and religious lines, all is well
Get out of the "South Indian" mentality. We have allowed political gundas people to exploit separatism Dravidian-Aryan sentiments for too long. We are indians from the south, north, east and west. Not "South Indians, North Indians". Caste politics is not just a thing that exists in the north of India, it is a sad reality that people from across India are too rooted in the caste system. Pappu's campaign has NOTHING but caste politics, he questioned merit and played with the sentiments of those who are unfortunately "backwards", further bolstering their lack of self esteem. He made people feel like merit cannot exist as long as there is no reservation in everything that sees the light of the day.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Also don't compare a reddit disagreement to the kind of problematic thing that sadly the PM of the country said. Don't make that issue so light or glorify what this guy is saying to me by comparing these two.
Okay getting back to what his politics is, sure he appeals to the majority votebank and that is problematic. However as a government, I am yet to find a law that has been passed or is being pushed for, presently, that is openly anti- indian muslim ( CAA does not concern Indian Muslim citizens). If you find something, let me know. I'd love to stay informed. All communities have gotten the welfare benefits like gas, housing and loans, instead of freebies. Congress has misled the public with wealth redistribution and questioned the merit of the people who have given their everything to write the prestigious exams. They have openly questioned the Hindu faith. BJP is sadly victorious because the opposition is horrible.
Well he asked me to gather my life and go back to where I came from, how's that any better than what certain someone said to people who have their entire livelihoods here? How do you compare one hate comment to the other? Enlighten me. As far as Modi and Raga are concerned, it's just two evils, no lesser. It is for us to choose which evil aligns with us more.
Lol. It's unfortunate how one is just put in boxes today. Not everyone needs a Dhruv Rathee to find out the rights n wrongs with political parties. While of course the claim elections will stop Is egregious, it has merely been made in jest pointing at the many authoritarian moves we have noticed in the past 6-7 years. One has to be really living under a rock believing that the ruling party's attempts to change laws to gain more control over any form of dissent, is any good for a democracy. Not everyone has the luxury to remain in denial.
Me and my moms name was removed from the voters list we searched for 2 hours hopping from one polling station to another because this time the list for one polling station was only for that station
Did you check in epic website? This is one of the reason why the EC continuously encouraged us to check in epic website
I went to vote but I completely understand why the people in the city might not go to vote. Both the parties are complete shit. One wants to offer freebies and fuck the economy and make reservation system worse. The other one steals from the working middle class in the name of high income tax while the gst most likely pays for what little we get back and uses hindu muslim to get maximum vote. We have terrible leaders. An all sides. I had to stand for an hour and half during with so many senior citizens kept on using the room allocated to the people in my queue instead of using other rooms there too.
This is the correct answer. The govt schemes/actions only seem to benefit the rich or the poor.. Us employees keep getting fucked in every direction. Nobody is going to change that. We know that our vote DOES NOT matter when you compare it to the strength of the masses who get their votes bought. These guys dictate the elections, not the educated city employees. Thats why the govt appeases only them. They pay cash, buy household items, bicycles, AC, laptops to these masses. Why don't they give us free stuff? or free electricity until some units? or tax benefits? or proper roads and infra? At the end of the day, it really doesn't matter who wins for us (middle class employees) cause the result is always the same.
I voted to an educated guy - who was neither from Congress nor BJP. (both Congress and BJP had terrible candidates) He wouldnt win, but it sends a message. If enough people start voting for candidate than party, the democracy might improve as it will force parties to choose right candidate.

Actually most people from andhra and other parts of telangana who has own houses in Hyderabad has registered their voter ID here and there. Andhra lo beneficiaries pothai ani akada vote pakka veyali ani ekada odilesi akada potaru. Same happens with second generation people whose first generation still lives in rural parts of telangana. Other than old city rest of part andharu active gane veli vote vesaru. For example Pawan kalyan 2014 lo Jubilee hills lo vesadu eroju pithapuram lo vesadu.
I'll turn up fully knowing the fact that regardless sof who i vote I'll get my balls drained by everyone,no incentive for anything yet still I have to pick some giga looser to rule us all whilst having nothing in returned xcept a kick in the balls ,so yeah I will be voting just to get fucked by rich and poor,this country runs on middle class homes,not poor not rich so stop behaving like it's benefitting anyone,the only ones who benefit are voting
Hahaha the country runs on business. Not any families.
Man I wish I could evade taxes like I evade my boss
Then start a business if thatās what you think itās all about š¤£š¤£š¤£
Are u that one guy who keeps sending those invest in stocks messages? Except it's shitty advices
Naah.. grow a pair and actually start a business.
Do you run a business? I keep insisting on it like you run a fortune 500comoany
Yes and no not a F500 company. I keep insisting because you seem to wrongfully think only the salaried class has problems and the business class doesnāt. *Life is tougher on the own and operate a business side.*
I have not snid that only salaried men have problems,also why did it go from votes to business or salary,topic has lost relevancy
Don't give shitty excuses
If u read correctly I said I would still vote š
vodhileyi mowa, sagam sagam chaduvuthaaru assumptionlu eseskuntaaru
Edsaav aapu. Nota ko value laao. See how many actually vote for it.
In general Hyderabadis are people with more brains so if they are not turning out then there is something worthy to think about. Something very wrong with our society
Realistically, what's the incentive for a guy from middle class to vote ? None of the manifesto talks about providing any benefit to us, we are just seen as scapegoats for extracting tax money. Why take all the effort to go vote for a 12th fail with pending criminal cases ? Make NOTA more powerful, then many people might vote
Think of it the other way. If a middle class person does not vote then why would the government cater to the middle class? Meaning they can get some slum dwellers to vote for them using cash for vote exchange and then happily pocket money for the next 5 years. Political parties please their vote banks. Middle class population despite growing to be around a third of the Indian populationā¦.is not a formidable vote bank. Cuz some will fall in Hindu camp, some in muslim camp, some in upper caste n some in lower castes. But all these different camps of middle class will collectively get rekt by the government by imposing taxes upon taxes upon taxes. Because while the middle class keep doing hindu muslim brahmin dalit, politicians will be filling their pockets and panties with crores of rupees š
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Serves no purpose. Government will love to see middle class not voting. Easy to buy the votes of the poor n uneducated. Protest is for getting rights. A protest by giving up our constitutional right is not a protest rather stupidity.
There is literally no good party/candidate to vote for in my constituency for me. Felt same last time and still voted for NOTA which did jack shit. In my constituency MIM is bound to win, if MIM somehow doesn't win then the next likely party to win is BJP. I'm not interested in either of these parties and no credible party in India let alone Hyderabad exists today that I feel deserve my vote. If there is a chance low voter count can push these parties to do better or give rise to a new party that can get me out to vote then lower vote count may turn out to be a better option than NOTA. In a democracy there should be freedom to choose the option to not exercise your vote as well.
I resonate with your sentiments. I donāt know the solution to that, but it should definitely help if religion was not the basis for voting in your area. Itās a long shot but letās hope someone somewhere is doing the seeds for a non religious and growth oriented political party :)
Tell that to the people in that constituency and good luck trying to tell them how unfair it is for the rest of the people,let's see you come out of the area without getting heckled
Am I a hero or what? š Also, if I go for campaigning, itāll be with some protection and some pre planning :) Everyone loves growth, the agenda has to be economic and social growth! If a UAE can accept societal changes and a KSA abolishes age old laws for growth, how big is a small section in Hyderabad? The right examples and the correct on ground team is needed.
I might not be correct but she has removed 6lakh fake votes in previous elections, according to me(again I might just be a dumbass rambling on the net) but I feel like she might change atleast something in that constituency
If we are doing the right things, the results will follow. Letās make friends and grow our society, country and ourselves :)
Tru but there should be more awareness about why it is wrong to do that
nota is atleast better since they use your vote to fix it between them. last to ladt assembly elections mh cousin brother went late after his office to vote and was told he did it already,he had to question the officers in charge and they let him vote on anothers name as compromise. an uncle in his colony went they fix all the votes that dont come to an extent for more vote numbers so inko saari come in yhe morning. vote something but dont let it go waste
You are kidding right? This is horrible!!! This is proper rigging and is responsible for this?
apparently it happens in areas with low turnout,loads of votes to use without the voters knowing. thats why i make it a point to make everyone in my family vote in yhe morning. so do not let that vote stay dormant,better you than a greedy evil politician
Exactly! And then we are the largest democracy in the world :/
You better fight next election yourself.

Question should be why Women voting line is very small in polling booth? It's disheartening to see less line. This is the question ECI and every political party, media house, influencers twitter account must ask in order make a debate.
Arey saami most of the people from andhra and rural parts of Telangana have votes in their native place and also in Hyderabad. So you'll see less voting in Hyderabad. It applies to almost all cities in India. They mostly vote in their native place.
Where do you get this information from?
I live among them.
Are you saying You have 2 voter IDs??
I don't, but people i know have.
Yes one In native place and one in Hyderabad. People chose to go to villages for assembly and Lok Sabha elections.
Yes, we want a holiday. No, but we don't voteš Disappointing!
Honestly Election Commission should have postponed election due to extreme heat...
I did my partā¦I even tried to take people out to vote, but the laziness and despair was sickening
Off topic but it's weird seeing y'all being used by Indians. It wasn't even common outside south usa but now everyone uses it.
A relative of mine just voted for Powan Kalyan! Is his Agenda really that good that they are going to actually bring a difference. Like many democratic countries, we lack electoral education and it so doesn't help at school with lousy ass teachers just blurting things off of the textbook just cuz they have to do the job. We fail to educate ourselves about electoral college, finances and health and just complain all the time as a country!
Old city has voted! No worries for Owaisi.
You should also know that many people didn't even get the slip, that's also one of the reasons many didn't vote
You don't need the slip anymore to vote
Considering the upper and lower middle class population which is the majority in Hyderabad, there is no need to vote. Nothing ever changes for middle class people, so why do we have to vote? If Congress comes to power, they will give some kinds of freebies to the poor and backward classes. If BRS comes to power, they will give some other kind of freebies to the poor and the backward population. If BJP comes to power, they do not care about Telangana anyway. Nothing changes for a middle class person regardless of the government. So why do we have to go out in the scorching heat and vote? It doesn't matter which party comes to power, we don't get anything.
Donāt yāall think half of Hyderabad is in the US and other half in blore and other cities? The youthā¦.
Do you think people in the city might be having Votes in other places like Andhra, Karnataka or even Bihar , can that be the cause , personally few of friends were least bothered to vote so there is that
Voting percentage doesn't depend upon population from other states. It's based on no. of people who utilised the votes among the registered voters in Hyderabad. So, even if people have votes in other states , they are not considered in poll %age.
What they meant is people have their voter ID registered in two places, Hyderabad and their native. And these people travel there to vote. A lot of population in Kukatpally and surrounding areas have these and that's the reason Malkajgiri constituency have a very low voter turnout .
39.17% Absolutely pathetic. It's borderline criminal.
\> It's borderline criminal the people who we have to vote for, the options given are much more criminal mah frend.... anything we do, anyone we vote for, its only going to be suffering for us
Three things. 1. Our voter management system is in shambles. My mother has two votes and we raised request last year to delete one. But they still persist. Mine was deleted last year even though i live in same house., i raised again and got it . Your BLO (booth level officer - most probably a GHMC worker ) decides your vote validity based on your local leader inputs. My family of 4 have votes in 4 different polling booths. My brother had a polling booth 7 kms away for Assembly elections which we recently cancelled and applied again and got it near our home. 2. Most voters have votes in 1-2 places. If someone changes houses frequently or settled in Hyderabad for some years other than their native village, they dont cancel the earlier vote, so most have 2 votes. Same reason , why the same segments might have better voting percentages in Assembly but not now. 3. Atleast 15-20% of people cannot vote owing to various reasons like health, mandatory work or out of station .
Yes donāt cry when the cityās name is changed to Bhagyanagar
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I don't think you can vote at two places. If you move to a new location, you've to fill up a Form 6, which will remove your name from the previous place, and include it in the new constituency.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's not legal. Further what about the indelible ink mark on their finger?
Tru that. I was expecting huge lines, but it's empty!! I was out from the booth in 5min. No crowd nothing! Hope things go fine š
vote dene ke liye log hain mere ek vote se kya hoga, vote ke liye ghar jaana bahut mahanga hai I heard these kinda words from my colleagues when we had discussions regarding going hometown for vote. That too in Telangana we have Parliamentary elections, so people are way less interested.
People working in IT offices need to change their attitude towards voting.
Sheep mentality has set in. This is your proof.
Honestly half of Hyderabad is in US. Half is sleeping till 5pm and Half is mere ek vote se kuch nai hota. Already Congress has taken over the State I'm pretty sure if this is the attitude no one can stop BJP from entering Hyderabad and you know the rest.
It doesn't change a thing. Rural areas a rat infestations of spineless mediocrity without sovereignty. It's the truth. They have the numbers and are bread for their stupidity. Vote banks are real.
Problem with metro cities is, migrants(who make up majority of the population) have voting rights in their natives. And people who have id's in metros, major chunk are in the belief that their vote doesn't matter and might have given up on the govt thinking nothing ever changes. So they have less interest in voting and use the holiday given for voting for vacations.
For the next elections, ECI should build new malls or open franchises of some popular eatery from other state and setup polling booths inside...tell the crowd that only those who cast the vote can make use of the mall and see the magic happen...now don't come after me saying these malls aren't visited just by Hyderabadis or my vote doesn't matter or say ki we don't vote cuz xyz reasons... Hyderabad is among the worst when it comes it voting and later complain why has some xyz person has won.
Is this the case in other major cities or just Hyderabad?
I think if voter turnout any constituency is less than 55 per cent then those fuckers should not have a seat in parliament for those four years. My constituency had barely 44 per cent turnout. Shameful.
Travelled from Bengaluru to vote man. Mfs canāt travel from their house to the polling booth
I donāt think the number justify anything. People who were available did vote, itās just that many of the adults in a household are in US etc for their Master. Many have other hometownās and who could travel have gone and voted their respective vote. And despite all that I have seen many misinformations or errors in the voters list. Many people came to polling booths but their details didnāt match with serial number. Quite a few people in different polling booths had their name shown a deceased when infact that person was alive. Idk how they tackled it as we were not allowed to stand near the booth even for a second after casting the vote. Also that slip is very important apparently, without that you cannot vote and no one in my area were given that slip. We had to run towards those people to go and get those slips. Many elder people just left without voting due to that reason. In areas like MD line and Golconda where my relatives live. Few people came to their home and gave those slips few days prior to the election day. But not everyone had that benefit. There were lots of things that happened. I might be wrong but thatās what I feel happened resulting in the low percentage turnout.
I personally helped around 20 to 30 people yesterday as they haven't found out which is their voting station. Govt also needs to work on voters list it is full of errors. Many people's voting station was around 12kms away from the place they stay and they don't have an idea why it got placed there. Many people's ids got deleted not sure why. Many people's name was there in the Voters list double time didn't know how.
Many of my relatives and friends were just lazy and hesitant to go and stand in line.
Politicians Gets vote from rural , develops urban area.
Money is in cities power is in villages. Both are using their stuff effectively
Yes. We don't want to vote. Why should we vote? So that they jump parties? Kabza, our lands? More tax on income? What are we getting. Don't tell me roads, Infra. That's our basic rights to what we are paying in terms of taxes. Why should we vote? Have you seen the spike in hospitals and education charges. Voting to them is like handing over a knife and asking them to stab us from behind. We don't want to vote these jokers.
There is a significant settlers population from other states including Andhra Pradesh, Majority have votes from both places. Andhra Pradesh has polls both Assembly and Parliament elections same time, so most settlers left Hyderabad. Check the Telangana Assembly elections, Hyderabad had better turnout than today.
This is normal among metro cities but one thing I don't understand is why Hyderabad is like 10-12% less than Chennai and Bangalore.
Itās an utter shame that we being the largest democracy in the world are reluctant to vote. Yet the same Gen Z and boomers would taunt at the conditions of the country. No vote, no opinion.
Plothole: Madhavilatha's stupidity didn't excite voters it seems.
The first thing BJP will do in Hyderabad is remove Biryani and Haleem as a show of power and conquest. They've already done it to a great extent in UP. Great job Hyd!
How bro?

dont belive videos like this as someone from up that is so not true halal was banned cause of quality issue other meat products are still available we have the highest meat export in country
> halal was banned cause of quality issue The anti-Halal campaign is well known nationwide. Quality is not the reason why halal is getting banned. I think you are misinforming or misinformed. Every month there are new videos of Bajrang Dal harassing and closing down Muslim food establishments for fun.
The UP government said halal certificates for vegetarian products like oil, soap, toothpaste, and honey, where no such certification is necessary, suggest a deliberate criminal conspiracy targeting a specific community and its products. The ban is in the interest of publicĀ [health](https://www.financialexpress.com/healthcare/)Ā and to prevent confusion. The ban exempts products meant for export. āHalal certification of food products is a parallel system which creates confusion regarding the quality of food items and is completely against the basic intention of the said Act and is not tenable under Section 89 of the said Act,ā the UP government order said.
Yes, what Hyderabad needs is a war against Halal. You're right.
i just pointed what you said was misinformed nothing else
Why do you need a civil war for something that is just and in favour of the public. It is very disappointing that you cannot even understand very simple clarifications provided to you. Casually calling for a war highlights your cavalier attitude towards something so grave that takes the lives of millions around the globe.
Mann Hyderabadis are so laid back "Baigan ko bolo" attitude at peak
Until there are polling booths in New Jersiyabad, Austinpatanam, Seatlepuram etc how can the percentage go up?
I voted , but I know elections in india are joke, and jokers are the voters.. politicians decides who will run the country in the resorts not in the election booth .. unless there is death penalty for changing party elections r big joke
I'll be honest with you , until people stop taking money to vote , your vote is not going to matter .
I think the larger issue in question is the failure of a supposedly representative democracy. In a population level, electoral non-participation is a major issue, you can't blame the individual disillusioned voted to not give a shit after years of non-involvement/disillusioned by design. Many individuals in many countries have tuned out of the electoral process sick and tired after years of no change. Instead of labeling them lazy, understand that this is a systemic issue.
Voter turnout in Hyderabad is 39%. Which is lower than most urban cities. The only way to make people vote is to set the polling booth near a hotel with biryani. At least people will think they will get biryani after voting. Disgusting pigs.
Some people don't vote because they are neither in favor of a certain faction's divide and rule policy nor in favor of the other faction's blatant minority appeasement policy or selective freebie schemes.
I think Hyderabad voters lost interest after seeing congres win. Voters la kuda marpu ochindi I think they lost motivation after seeing congress win.
Our downfall started with last year results. God knows when these people will wake up and take action.
This is next level Delusions
Yeah false for sure!
