Hyderabad : In a momentous political development, the Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) is set to unveil its initial list of candidates for the upcoming Assembly elections this Sunday. Following the culmination of Pitru Paksha, the TPCC has made the decision to reveal the names of over 60 candidates as part of its election strategy.
This strategic move comes after a high-stakes meeting held by the TPCC’s election committee at the residence of K C Venugopal on Saturday. Moreover, the Central Election Committee of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) is scheduled to convene once again on Tuesday to finalize the remaining candidates for the upcoming elections.
The screening committee chairman, K Muralidharan, highlighted that loyalty and winning potential played pivotal roles in the candidate selection process.
