Looks like it just might be a good five years ahead for the people of the youngest Indian state. As much as 58.8 per cent of the Telangana's 119 newly elected MLAs have been to college. So this means that the people the Telangana Rashtra Samithi's chief Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao (KCR) has fielded for the assembly polls and the others who won across party lines have a high percentage of graduates in their midst. This is a deviation from the accepted norm that the average Indian politician is uneducated and cannot hold his own in international conferences or meetings, according to data collated from election portal myneta.info. All the data has been collected from the candidates' declarations at the time of filing for contesting the elections.
If you haven't heard yet, after the final counting of votes, KCR's TRS managed to establish a clear majority by winning 88 out of 119 seats across Telangana. While the Congress secured 19 seats, AIMIM, TDP and BJP got 7, 2 and 1 seats respectively. Candidates from other parties won the remaining two seats.
Interestingly, two of the new MLAs, Ramesh Chennamaneni and Gadari Kishore Kumar (both TRS MLAs) have PhDs, while 24 of them are postgraduates. The new assembly will have 44 graduates, that form 37 per cent of the state's MLA population, including the current Chief Minister K Chandrashekar Rao. The graduates also include 18 graduate professionals. And did we mention that there are four doctors, 9 engineers and 12 lawyers in this assembly? The trend seems obviously promising as the leaders of this young state had always put education in the forefront while campaigning.
Apart from this, 24 MLAs have passed class XII, 16 have passed class X, 2 have passed class VIII, 3 have passed class V and one of them is literate.
