Adilabad: Financially strong aspirants chosen

ZPTC elections have become costly after experiencing huge poll expenditure in the MLA elections.

Adilabad: Huge election expenditure has forced political leaders and ticket aspirants of ZPTC to select one who is financially strong and try for a ticket for that person as a group.

ZPTC elections have become costly after experiencing huge poll expenditure in the MLA elections.

As ticket aspirants realise the role of money, some of them withdrew from the contest and supported the persons capable of spending huge money in the polls.

This trend is fast catching since the poll expenditure has increased several folds and it was visible in the recent MLA elections in which some MLA candidates reportedly spend up to Rs 30 crore.

Against this backdrop, it was said that the lowest expenditure will be Rs 10 lakh and highest would be Rs 50 lakh in ZPTC election in Adilabad this time.

However, the range of expenditure would be less for MPTC elections when compared to ZPTC and the high competition for MPTC tickets is an indication to this.
