Speaking to the media after the PEC meeting held on Sunday at the Gandhi Bhavan, Revanth said the Screening Committee will hand over the list prepared by it to the Central Election Committee (CEC). He said that an exercise is going on to announce the first list of candidates as soon as possible.
Revanth said the Central Election Committee will announce the final list. “Till then I would not have any information about the list of candidates. The selection of candidates is taking place in a fully transparent manner. We are giving top priority to BCs in selecting candidates. The selection of BC candidates would be based on local conditions and social classes. There should be no misconceptions in selecting candidates,” he said.
