HYDERABAD: A group of Telangana Congress officials convened with Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan on Sunday, asserting their claim to establish the government with 65 members in the state's recently elected House, as per PTI news agency.
Following the meeting with the Telangana Governor, Karnataka's Deputy CM DK Shivakumar, acting as one of the AICC observers, declared, "We have approached the Governor to stake our claim to form the government with 65 members in this freshly elected House. Tomorrow at 9:30 am, we have scheduled a meeting with the newly elected MLAs."
Meanwhile, Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao tendered his resignation to Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan following his party's defeat in the state assembly elections.
