Congress leaders protested against only Telugu language posters in the polling stations set up under Musheerabad assembly constituency.

Former corporator Muhammad Wajid Hussain visited the polling stations and interacted with the booth level officials. He expressed his regret that the Election Commission has ignored Urdu. At some places there are posters in Telugu only, while Telugu, English and Urdu should be made available to guide the public. He appealed to District Election Officer Lokesh Kumar to set up instructional posters in all three languages in future.
