Telangana's 119 assembly constituencies (ACs) will vote today, november 30. Will the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS), formerly known as the telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS), be able to hold power for the third time? An HT analysis of prior outcomes suggests that any opposition party will have to significantly beat its previous best in order to pull off an upset. Here are some charts that illustrate this in further depth.

Voting habit varies greatly in Telangana. hyderabad, a significant component of the state, does not appear to be very engaged in elections. Graduates may choose to spend time with family rather than selecting leaders for five years. This is not the case in rural regions, where people are more likely to vote.

Many individuals in hyderabad are educated; around 83% are literate. However, when it comes to voting, they are apathetic. Even in affluent communities such as Jubilee Hills, barely 45% of individuals vote, but in Patancheruvu, the voting rate increased to over 76% in 2018. Graduates also voted less in previous elections. Meanwhile, the state's declaration of the november 30 election day as a paid holiday tries to increase voter turnout. So, let us hope that individuals in hyderabad will set an example by voting more frequently this time, demonstrating to everyone in rural regions how vital it is.
