As election nears in Telangana, politicians are on a last-minute campaigning spree in the state as the campaign ends on November 28 in the poll-bound state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, Home Minister Amit Shah, Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao are campaigning in different parts of the state today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing an event in Shri Ram Chandra Mission, Hyderabad. Later today, Modi will be addressing poll rallies at Toopran and Nirmal. 

Modi is campaigning in Telangana on Monday as well and he will be campaigning at Mahbubabad and Karimnagar Assembly constituencies. Before leaving for Delhi, the prime minister is scheduled to conduct a road show in Hyderabad on Monday. 

During campaigning on Saturday, Rahul Gandhi made sharp attacks on BJP and BRS. Gandhi said the Congress has flattened all four tyres of the BJP in Telangana and the party will do soon in Delhi. The Congress leader accused Chief Minister and BRS leader of “looting Rs 1 lakh crore” from Kaleswaram irrigation project. 

The Election Commission on Saturday issued an advisory to Chandrashekar Rao, advising him to adhere to MCC guidelines. Rao made controversial, threatening remarks against the Congress leadership while campaigning in the Banswada constituency. 

The National Students' Union of India complained against Rao with EC and the poll body issued the advisory saying, “You are hereby advised to follow the provisions of the MCC in letter and spirit."

Elections will be held in the state on November 30 and campaigning will end on November 28.
