HYDERABAD: Union Minister and Telangana BJP president Kishan Reddy addressed concerns regarding the upcoming reorganization of Assembly and Parliament constituencies. He assured that the process would occur without reducing any existing seats.

Kishan Reddy criticized the Congress, Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), and Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), accusing them of misleading the public about the reorganization. He clarified that the restructuring would be conducted as planned, ensuring that no constituency loses representation. He also reaffirmed that women’s reservations in legislative bodies would be implemented by the next parliamentary elections.
