BRS avoids announcing candidates for local body polls amid HC hearing

Due to uncertainty over the legality of enhanced reservations in Telangana, the BRS is learnt to have hit the pause button on announcing candidates for the upcoming local body polls. 

The party has decided to withhold the announcement of its candidates until clarity emerges regarding the Telangana High Court orders and any necessary corrections to faulty



reservations.

Party insiders admitted that while cadre enthusiasm was high and public anger against the Congress government was palpable after 22 months of misrule, the leadership was unwilling to risk premature announcements that could backfire in the wake of a court verdict. Instead, the party leadership took a calculated decision not to finalise candidates prematurely.
