Minor Skirmishes Mar Smooth Polling in Hyderabad Amidst Allegations

On election day in Hyderabad, there were some fights and arguments between people from two main political parties, Congress and BRS, at various polling places.

They accused each other of trying to cheat by giving out money, rigging votes, or stopping people from voting fairly.

In some cases, these arguments became physical.

The police had to step in to calm down the crowds, and in some instances, they used mild force.

There were also complaints about some politicians being near polling stations when they shouldn't have been.

A few voting machines had small problems, but overall, the voting process was described as smooth.

Many shops and businesses were closed during polling hours as required by election rules.

The police and special forces were present to ensure security.
