Governor Accepts KCR's Decision

In a recent development, Governor ESL Narasimhan is believed to have lent his consent to the Cabinet decision to dissolve Telangana Assembly.

The Telangana Assembly has been dissolved, Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan announced on Thursday.

The Governor made the announcement after Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao submitted a cabinet resolution recommending the dissolution of the House.

The Governor said he had accepted Rao's resignation and told him to continue as the caretaker Chief Minister.

The TRS chief considers '6' his lucky number and that's the reason cited for not taking the decision during the Cabinet meeting on September 2, which was held hours before the massive public meeting organised by the ruling party to sound the poll bugle.

After the dissolution of Assembly, KCR will launch the TRS election campaign with a public meeting at Husnabad in Siddipet district a day later.

Christened 'Prajala Aasirwada Sabha', this will be the first of 100 public meetings planned by TRS over the next 50 days.
