Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao held a press meet on Thursday afternoon hours after the Cabinet passed a resolution to dissolve the Assembly.

Showing how confident he is, the TRS supremo announced names of 105 MLA candidates who will contest on the TRS ticket in the state assembly elections, whenever they are held. "I will announce the remaining 14 names in 10 days or so," KCR said.

Two sitting MLAs -Babu Mohan and Chennur MLA Nalla Odelu have been denied tickets.

"Whatever KCR does is for the well-being of the state. My decision will definitely help the state. Since we came to power, we have introduced schemes like Kalyana Lakshmi even though nobody had demanded such schemes. Same goes for Rythu Bandhu, etc. We have introduced 76 initiatives that were not mentioned in the Manifesto," the caretaker Chief Minister said.

Speaking to a journo, TRS leader Kesava Rao has commented that early polls gives his party a political advantage. "It will be KCR vs nobody," Rao has been quoted as saying.
