Congress Dominates Gram Panchayat Polls
In the final phase of the Gram Panchayat elections in Telangana, Congress-backed candidates won the most sarpanch posts, followed by BRS and BJP.
The oath-taking ceremony for the newly elected sarpanches was moved from December 20 to December 22 because December 20 was considered an inauspicious day.
The Chief Minister plans to meet with the new sarpanches to discuss challenges and government efforts to release funds.
The elections saw a high voter turnout of 85.77%.

BRS-backed candidates won around 1,100 sarpanch posts, while BJP-backed candidates won 220, and independents won 400.
The oath-taking ceremony for newly elected sarpanches was postponed from December 20 to December 22 due to the inauspicious date of Amavasya.
