Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy will chair a key cabinet meeting today to decide on local body elections, with the High Court’s September 30 deadline fast approaching. The government must finalize decisions on panchayat elections and the proposed increase in BC reservations.
Once the cabinet approves the changes and issues the gazette notification, the State Election Commission (SEC) is ready to announce the election schedule. Sources suggest the notification could be released in the first week of September.
The government is working to complete formalities, including finalizing reservation lists and polling arrangements, to ensure smooth conduct of elections. The meeting holds political importance as the state aims to meet the court’s timeline while ensuring transparency and fairness.
The cabinet’s decision will set the stage for elections across rural and urban bodies, marking a critical step in Telangana’s democratic process.
