Telangana bypolls to be held before 30th August

Chief Election Commissioner Mr. V Sampath on Monday said that elections to 12 assembly seats in Telangana will be held before August 30th.

Bypolls was necessitated as 12 MLAs mostly from the TRS party have resigned in support of Telangana statehood. It would be interesting to see if Congress and TDP would field their candidates in the coming bypolls.

The Centre has constituted the Srikrishna Committee to seek the opinion of political parties and people on the Telangana issue, but the outcome of the polls will have its own impact in one or the other way.

In anothr development, KTR has offered the ruling Congress party their support to win in the coming bypolls if they come up with a time bound statement on Telangana Statehood.
