The Central Election Committee (CEC) of Congress will have their next meeting on October 14 to decide on the candidates for the Telangana Assembly elections. They will also meet with the AICC leaders and are expected to approve the list of candidates recommended by the screening committee of Telangana on October 8.
The screening committee, led by K Muralidharan, has already submitted their recommendations to the CEC for review on October 8. The previous CEC meeting, held on October 7, focused on Madhya Pradesh and was attended by AICC chief Mallikarjun Kharge and Congress MPs Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
It is likely that the party will release the list of candidates on October 14, one day before the launch of a bus yatra in the State as part of the election campaign. The yatra will start from Alampur in Jogulamba district and will be attended by Priyanka Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
