Telangana governor may seek legal opinion

Telangana’s Governor Jishnu Dev Varma will decide on the Congress government’s ordinance for 42% Backward Classes reservations in local bodies. He is expected to seek legal advice. A bill on the same subject already exists. The ordinance amends the Telangana Panchayat Raj Act, 2018. Political opposition is growing, with concerns about the ordinance’s validity.
