The GHMC term was ended on December 3rd last year. However, Telangana government has not conducted the elections for it till now. Telangana government has been prolonging the elections taking excuse of delimitation of wards from present 150 to 175. Hence, it appoints a special officer to run the GHMC till a new governing body is elected. But, the Telangana governemnt has not shown any sign for conducting the elections until now. So, the court responding to a Public Interest Litigation petition has served notice to the state government ordering it to come-up with the elections schedule when it takes up the case today.

The advocate representing the government told the court that it is ready to conduct the GHMC elections very soon. He asked the court one week time to submit the elections schedule and the court agreed and adjourned the case to next week. If so, hectic political activity will triger very soon in the combined capital Hyderabad. TRS is having alliance with MIM and appears to be having some understanding with the YSR Congress party. TDP and BJP have not revealed whether they will contest the elections jointly or separately. If, they contest the elections separately, TRS alliance will have edge iver them.
