Hyderabad, April 27 : Campaigning came to an end on Tuesday in seven urban local bodies in Telangana going to polls on April 30 amid the surge in Covid cases.
Leaders of various political parties addressed rallies, conducted road shows and went door to door in a last-minute bid to woo the voters.
Campaigning ended 72 hours before the polling as the State Election Commission curtailed the canvassing period in view of Covid situation.
The state poll panel, however, is going ahead with the elections despite demands by the opposition parties to postpone them due to ongoing second wave of the pandemic.
