Stage set for early polls in Telangana; KCR dissolves state Assembly


Hyderabad, Sep 6(DC): Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao has decided to dissolve state Assembly paving way for early election.

The chief minister met Telangana Governor ESL Narasimhan and informed him about the decision to dissolve the state Assembly.

The decision to dissolve the Assembly came after KCR held a meeting with his Cabinet on Thursday.

The Telangana Cabinet meet, the second in five days, came amid speculations that KCR is all set to announce the dissolution of state assembly.

On Wednesday, sources in the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS) claimed that the government has more-or-less made up its mind on the dissolution of the assembly, whose term ends next year, news agency PTI reported.

The sources have added that the chief minister saw an advantage in delinking Assembly elections, which were originally scheduled to be held next year, with the Lok Sabha polls.

In recent weeks, the state government had announced a slew of measures for the benefit of various sections of the society further giving a boost to speculations that the party could go for early elections to cash in on the perceived positive atmosphere prevailing for it in the state.

Addressing a mega rally on Sunday, where the announcement on early polls was highly expected, KCR said that ministers and party leaders had authorised him to take a decision on it in the interest of people and the party and he would take a call soon.
