Telangana Congress puts media appointments on hold

Hyderabad: The Telangana Congress has put on hold the appointments of media panellists for press briefings and television debates, media coordinators, and spokespersons. The order was issued on Monday, November 9, and was put on hold on Tuesday.

The appointments were put on hold, allegedly after objections from members of the All India Congress Committee (AICC). It was alleged that the appointments were based on leaders’ recommendations rather than candidates selected through the AICC’s talent hunt process, which led to the orders being put on hold.
