PCC says 68 ZPTCs allotted to TRS and 34 to CPI

HYDERABAD: The Congress announced on Friday that it has allotted 68 Zilla Parishad Territorial Constituencies (ZPTCs) to the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) and 34 to the CPI as part of its alliance with the two parties in the Panchayat Raj elections.

However, the TRS rejected the Congress list saying it was `defective'. A piquant situation has arisen with the TRS candidates filing nominations for 106 ZPTCs and CPI in 70 ZPTCs at the close of withdrawal of nominations on Wednesday. This has left the Congress locked in a clash with the allies in over a 100 seats.
