Office of 1 (one) member of Telangana Legislative Council from Adilabad Local
Authorities’ Constituency of the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Council expired on
1st May, 2013 (Before the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh into Andhra Pradesh
& Telangana) but election could not be conducted due to non-availability of
constituents/elected bodies and electors. Also, the term of office of 8 (eight)
members of the Telangana Legislative Council from eight Local Authorities’
Constituencies expired on 1st May, 2015. The election could not be
conducted earlier in time as there were inconsistencies in the Andhra Pradesh
Reorganization Act, 2014. The said inconsistencies have been removed now
by creating one more seat in each of Karimnagar, Ranga Reddy and
Mahabubnagar LACs.
