GWMC and KMC Mayor and Deputy Mayor posts occupied by women for the first time
Women walked away with top positions of the municipal corporations and municipalities for which the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) finalised its candidates after winning majority seats in the elections conducted recently. It is also the first time that Khammam and Warangal corporations will be ruled by women occupying both the Mayor and Deputy Mayor posts. The TRS has also ensured that the Muslim minority women got a major share of the top positions. Siddipet, Kothur and Jadcherla municipalities will also see women as chairpersons. Former Rajya Sabha member Gundu Sudharani took oath as the Mayor of the Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC) on Friday as the choice of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao. Rizwana Shameem from the TRS will be the Deputy Mayor.
