In a bid to engage and motivate the 'first-time' voters, Mallikarjun Kharge, the National President of Congress, extended a warm welcome, encouraging them to partake in this democratic process for transformative change and social justice. Emphasizing Telangana's unique position as the youngest state in India, Kharge asserted, "Telangana must show the way."

Reflecting the determination of the people of Telangana, Kharge remarked, "People of Telangana have decided that they will choose a transparent, people-friendly government, with a safety net for the disadvantaged. 'No force on earth can stop an idea whose time has come'... Let us ensure a Prajala Telangana now! This is the time to come out and vote in large numbers to make it happen. This is the time to realize the countless dreams and aspirations of Telangana's people, for which you have shed your sweat and blood for years," in another post on platform X.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi echoed the sentiment, appealing to the electorate to exercise their voting rights conscientiously. In a post on platform X, she implored, "My brothers and sisters of Telangana. I appeal to you to think carefully and vote with full enthusiasm and strength. Voting is your right, it is your biggest responsibility. Utilize the power of voting to realize the dream of Prajala Telangana. Jai Telangana. Jai Hind."

Earlier in the day, prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, and Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, joined the chorus urging the people of Telangana to cast their votes in record numbers for the state assembly elections. Concurrently, key figures like BRS leader K Kavitha, Telangana Minister and BRS MLA KT Rama Rao, State Congress Chief Revanth Reddy, AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi, and others exercised their voting rights.
