Talasani defends reduction in GHMC polls duration
Hyderabad, Jan 5 (INN): Commercial Taxes Minsiter Talasani Srinivas Yadav has strongly defended the amendment in GHMC Act aimed at reducing the election process to 15 days.
Speaking to media persons at the State Secretariat here on Tuesday, Talasani said that the change in duration for election process was a routine affair. He said that the State Government plans to complete the election process by January 31, as directed the Hyderabad High Court. Therefore, he said amendment in the GHMC Act was essential to complete the entire process in 15 days from the date of notification. However, he said that the opposition parties have been criticising the decision only to politicse the issue as they fear that they would be rejected by the people in GHMC elections.
Talasani also claimed that the State Government was not interfering in the election process and ward reservation was done by the State Election Commission. He said that the opposition parties were unable to digest the rising popularity of Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao in Hyderabad.
