K Chandrasekhara Rao, TRS President, has said that his government will honour all the promises made in the election manifesto.

Addressing the maiden press conference here on Friday after clinching a decisive victory in the Assembly elections, he said reconstruction of the State was the main priority for his party. He said development of agriculture, attracting investments and creation of jobs would be his top priorities.

The meeting of legislature party and MPs would be held on Saturday afternoon.

Listing out his priorities of the TRS Government, he said lifting of cases on Telangana activists during the movement for separate statehood will be one.

The Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) is poised to form the Government in Telangana by registering an emphatic victory in the Assembly polls.

The party has clinched 50 seats so far, while leading in 13 more seats.

K Chandrasekhara Rao is likely to become the first Chief Minister of the newly-formed State, 29th in the country.

The State has got a share of 119 seats (the combined State has 294 seats), requiring a party to get 60 seats to get a simple majority in order to form the Government.

The Congress has failed to cash in on the 'credit' for facilitating the formation of the State. It has won in 10 seats so far and can hope for 10 seats, where it is leading. Senior leaders, including Pradesh Congress Committee President Ponnala Lakshmaiah and several Ministers in the last assembly, lost in the election.

The Telugu Desam Party-BJP alliance has won six seats. They are leading in 16 more seats.
