Rivals come face-to-face, depart without wishing

Vijayawada: MLA and MP candidates of various political parties visited the polling booths to observe the proceedings during polling here on Thursday. Arch rivals of Vijayawada Lok Sabha candidates visited PB Siddhartha College of Arts and Science polling stations.

In a coincidence, YSRCP MP candidate Potluri Vara Prasad and TDP MP candidate Kesineni Srinivas visited the polling station at Moghalrajapuram at the same time to monitor the proceedings.

All the voters who came to exercise their franchise expected the rivals to wish each other. However, nothing of that sort happened which surprised the voters.
