Congress highlighted low coverage in Hyderabad due to underperforming Booth Level Officers (BLOs), while BRS pointed to unresolved voter doubts and legal challenges faced by officials. The Chief Electoral Officer has appealed to voters to return enumeration forms, but extension requests to the Election Commission remain unaddressed.
