Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Telangana Assembly session will begin on September 7, Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy told MLAs at a meeting on August 24. The session is likely to pass a resolution seeking to reduce the minimum age for contesting Assembly and Lok Sabha elections from 25 to 21 years, as announced earlier by the CM. The resolution will be sent to the Centre for consideration. Reddy also instructed MLAs to complete pending land acquisition for irrigation projects quickly, warning that projects would never be finished otherwise. He assured funds for land acquisition, relief and forest clearances. Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka and several ministers attended the meeting. The Times of India adds that the HILT policy and 22 A category land are also likely to be discussed.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both sources report the session date and the likely resolution on lowering the poll age, but Siasat.com provides fuller detail on the CM's earlier announcement and reasoning, while the Times of India adds two other likely agenda items. The coverage is straight reporting with no discernible slant from either outlet. The key number to watch is whether the resolution passes and how the Centre responds, given it would require a constitutional amendment.
