Khammam (Telangana): Once bitter rivals, Congress President Rahul Gandhi and TDP leader and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday shared the dais at their first public meeting here to campaign for 'People's Front' candidates in Telangana's Assembly elections. This is the first time two top leaders of the Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) shared the stage at an election rally since they agreed to work together to form an alliance of non-BJP parties at the national level. In a dramatic shift of TDP's stand towards the Congress, Naidu met Rahul Gandhi this month and they agreed to bury the past and work together to unite opposition parties. The two parties along with the Communist Party of India (CPI) and Telangana Jana Samithi (TJS) have formed 'People's Front'. CPI leader S. Sudhakar Reddy, TJS leader M. Kodandaram, former Maoist ideologue and revolutionary balladeer Madiga Reservation Porata Samithi (MRPS) leader Manda Krishna Madiga also shared the dais with Gandhi and Chandrababu Naidu. Congress party's Telangana unit President Uttam Kumar Reddy termed the meeting "historic".

Mizoram polls: 29 percent voter turnout recorded in first four hours##Mizoram polls: 29 percent voter turnout recorded in first four hours

Around 29 per cent voter turnout was recorded in the first four hours of polling in 40 Assembly constituencies of Mizoram, Chief Electoral Officer Ashish Kundra said. The voting process began at 7 am, amid tight security, and would continue till 4 pm, he said. No untoward incident was reported from any part of the state, but snags in electronic voting machines led to delays in the polling process in some booths, Kundra said. Forty-two VVPATs, 25 ballot units and 19 control units were being replaced in various polling stations, the CEO stated. A total of 7,70,395 voters, including 3,94,897 women, would decide the fate of 209 candidates, including Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla, who is contesting from two seats - Serchhip and Champai South. While Thanhawla is seeking a third consecutive term in the state, the BJP, which failed to open its account in 2013 elections, is looking to uproot the Congress in its last bastion in the northeast. Long queues of enthusiastic voters were seen outside many polling stations early in the day. Former chief minister and opposition Mizo National Front (MNF) chief Zoramthanga was among the first ones to exercise franchise at 7 am. (PTI)
