Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, who participated in a candle march in Hyderabad on Saturday, announced that the state government will convene a special session of the Assembly and Legislative Council in the first week of August to pass a resolution urging the Centre to reduce the minimum age for contesting Assembly and Lok Sabha elections from 25 to 21 years. Addressing a Gen Z solidarity rally in Hyderabad, Revanth Reddy said the resolution would be forwarded to the Centre and that he would personally meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek an amendment to the law.
Noting that 21-year-olds are already eligible to become IAS, IPS and IFS officers and can contest local body elections, the Chief Minister questioned why they cannot contest Assembly and Parliamentary polls.
