Congress Alters Election Schedule to Capitalize on Welfare Programs
The Congress party is changing the order of local elections.
They are holding the elections where parties use symbols first, instead of the ones without party symbols.
This is because they want to use recent welfare programs, like helping farmers and providing food, to gain votes.
They also want to focus on a special election in November.
The Congress leaders believe these programs will make people happy and help them win.
Congress will prioritize party symbol-based ZPTC/MPTC polls over gram panchayat elections.
This change aims to leverage recent welfare initiatives for electoral gains.
Key programs include reservation for Backward Classes and rice distribution.
A key driver is the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly bypoll in November.
Congress expects welfare schemes to create a 'feel good' factor among voters.
