Telangana Transport Minister Ponnam Prabhakar has made significant remarks regarding the upcoming local body elections, confirming that they will proceed in accordance with the directives of the Telangana High Court. He further clarified that the government has not introduced any talk of Muslim reservations in the context of these elections.
