While TRS candidate Palla Rajeshwar Reddy was leading by 7,871 in the Nalgonda-Warangal-Khammam graduates constituency, Surabhi Vani Devi of the ruling party established an early lead of over 1,000 votes in the Hyderabad-Ranga Reddy-Mahabubnagar graduates constituency over her nearest BJP rival N Ramchander Rao.

The cumbersome process of bundling the ‘jumbo’ ballots in the two constituencies took an entire day on Thursday and counting began late in the evening.

The surprise element was independent candidate Teenmar Mallanna who polled 12,046 and 12,070 votes in the first and second rounds of counting respectively to take the second position in the Nalgonda-Warangal-Khammam constituency.
