Congress gears up for Telangana local body polls amidst quota row
Telangana’s Congress government is gearing up for long-pending local body elections, including polls for Panchayats, MPTCs, and ZPTCs. However, legal hurdles over proposed 42% BC reservations—clashing with the Supreme Court’s 50% quota cap—have stalled the process. The elections are seen as crucial for grassroots governance and consolidating the party’s presence at the village and mandal levels.
