Hyderabad, Oct 23 (PTI) The Telangana Cabinet on Thursday decided to promulgate an Ordinance lifting the rule disqualifying candidates with more than two children from contesting local body polls.

Addressing a press conference, after the cabinet meeting chaired by Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy, Revenue Minister P Srinivas Reddy said there was a discussion in the last cabinet meeting on the subject.

"Since this is a law and the Assembly is not in session, the Cabinet has decided to draft an ordinance and recommend that the Governor promulgate it," he said.
