Telangana To Lower Assembly Election Age

The Telangana government has announced its intention to move a resolution to lower the minimum age for contesting assembly elections. This decision is seen as an effort to increase the participation of younger citizens in the electoral process. By reducing the age limit, the government hopes to encourage more young people to take an active role in politics. The current minimum age for contesting assembly elections is 25 years. The proposed change aims to give a voice to the 'Gen Z' population, who are eager to contribute to the country's democratic process.
