Hyderabad sources reported that the Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC), which recently launched a political party, has said that the party plans to contest from all assembly and Lok Sabha seats during the 2019 elections. It also said the 'Telangana Jana Samiti' (TJS) would have no electoral alliances. Meanwhile JAC Chairman M Kodandaram, who launched TJS party on April 2, said. Legislative Assembly polls in Telangana state would be held simultaneously with the general elections in 2019.
Meanwhile when asked if there was enough time for the party to gear up for polls next year, he said the advantage for JAC, unlike others who enter politics, is that it has been active in social life. He told "We have been active as a civil society group over the last few years. In fact, we were also active during the Telangana movement. So, we have a network and we are aware of the people's problems".
Moreover the JAC, a conglomerate of various
political and social organizations, spearheaded the separate Telangana
agitation. Furthermore the ruling TRS, Congress and other parties were also
part of it then. Sources reported that after the formation of Telangana (on
June 2, 2014), the JAC had continued as a civil society group, agitating on
people's issues.
