A day after assembly poll counting, Telangana cabinet meeting to be held

HYDERABAD: The Telangana cabinet meeting is scheduled to be held on December 4, a day after the votes of the assembly elections are counted. Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao will chair the meeting at 2 pm, an official release from Rao's office said without disclosing the agenda. Election for the 119-seat assembly was held on November 30. Rao contested from two segments-Gajwel and Kamareddy.

In a post on X, BRS working president K T Rama Rao said, "After a long time had a peaceful sleep. Exit polls can take a hike. Exact polls will give us good news."

Dismissing some exit-poll surveys that suggested that the ruling BRS would fall short of a majority in the Assembly polls, Rama Rao had said the Chandrasekhar Rao-led dispensation will return to power with over 70 seats.
