KCR skips voting for ZP, MPP polls

Hyderabad: Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao has skipped casting his vote in the first phase of Mandal and Zilla Parishad elections held on Monday.

The Chief Minister along with his family members left for Kerala on a week-long southern States visit on Monday afternoon. His name has been registered in the voters list in his native poll-bound Chintamadaka village of Narayanaraopet mandal in Siddipet district.

The TRS already fielded candidates to contest the elections from K Chandrashekar Rao's native mandal.

Leaders said that the TRS chief could not exercise his franchise as he was busy preparing for the tour.
