Sec 285A revision to get by 'special cases' clause
The state government is likely to amend the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018 to raise reservations for Backward Classes (BCs) to 42% in the upcoming local body elections.
The change may be introduced either through an ordinance or by convening a special session of the Legislative Assembly, sources said.
The move comes amid pressure to complete the long-delayed local polls by September, following a High Court directive. Government sources told TNIE that the advocate general has also advised in favour of the amendment.
