TITA hopes high participation of techies in MLC elections

Telangana IT Association (TITA) is expecting participation of techies in the March 14 polling for the two Graduates’ constituencies in the Legislative Council in large numbers, bucking the trend of their poor response to the elections to Assembly, Lok Sabha and other local bodies. Founder of TITA Sandeep Kumar Makthala said here on Tuesday that the hope stems from the fact that a large number of IT and ITES employees working in the State had enrolled themselves as voters for the Graduate MLC elections since a majority of them were working from home due to the Covid-19 conditions. He stated that over 40% of about 6 lakh techies working in the State were natives of Telangana.
