Teachers’ Unions Announce Support for MLC Candidates in Telangana
The Telangana State United Teachers Federation (TSUTF) and the Telangana Progressive Teachers Federation (TPTF) have declared their support for two candidates in the upcoming Teachers MLC elections. They announced backing incumbent MLC Alugubelli Narsireddy, representing the Warangal-Khammam-Nalgonda Upadhyaya Constituency, and former TPTF President Y Ashok Kumar, contesting from the Medak-Nizamabad-Adilabad-Karimnagar Teachers Constituency. The elections are scheduled to take place on February 27, and both candidates are expected to win.
Alugubelli Narsireddy has been a strong advocate for teachers and education since his election in March 2019. Over his term, he has efficiently utilized constituency development funds to improve schools and colleges. Narsireddy has also been actively touring the constituency to address teachers’ issues and strengthen the education system.
Y Ashok Kumar, on the other hand, has a long history of involvement in the teacher movement. As the former TPTF State President and a member of the USPC Steering Committee, he has led several initiatives for the benefit of educators. He also played a key role during the Telangana movement, working alongside Prof Kodandaram as a leader in the Telangana Joint Action Committee.
Both candidates are widely recognized for their dedication and social consciousness. Their campaigns are supported not only by TSUTF and TPTF but also by various other teacher and faculty associations.
