After dissolving the Telangana Assembly yesterday, Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao will start his election campaign with a public meeting at Husnabad.
The TRS has planned about 100 Prajala Asheervada Sabha (People’s blessing meet) in the next 50 days across the State. Irrigation Minister Harish Rao and Finance Minister Etela Rajender will be organizing the meetings.
The Election Commission has a scheduled meeting today and are likely to discuss Telangana going into an early election. KCR personally reached out to the Chief Election Commission and discussed the issue. Yesterday, KCR confidently told the public that Telangana would go into elections with the four other states at the end of the year.
Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Mizoram are all set to go in elections in November. The Telangana Assembly was dissolved 9 months before the end of its term. Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan asked KCR and the remaining Council of Ministers to carry on in office as a caretaker Government.
The Telangana Assembly would have ended its term in May 2019 and would have gone to election in April or May 2019. Opposition parties did not hesitate to criticize KCR for dissolving the cabinet. The BJP attacked the State Government calling the move undemocratic. KCR was expected to dissolve the cabinet on Sunday during the TRS’s biggest meet.
