Soon after handing over his resignation to the governor, KCR held a press conference during which he announced that his party is ready with a list of 105 candidates for Assembly elections.
Reacting over KCR's decision to dissolve Telangana Assembly for early polls, the state Congress unit said that people of the state have got rid of an 'autocratic rule'.
State Assembly elections were originally scheduled to be held along with the Lok Sabha elections 2019 in April-May. However, Rao is keen on uncoupling the two polls, seeing it as an advantage for the ruling Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS).
