The chief minister of Telangana is the chief executive of the Indian state of Telangana. In accordance with the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Telangana Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]
Since the state's creation on 2 June 2014,[2] Telangana has had two chief ministers, the first belonged to Telangana Rashtra Samithi party, its founder and former Union Minister of Labour and Employment K. Chandrashekar Rao was the inaugural holder of the office who sworn in two times by winning the 2014 and 2018 assembly elections consecutively. The current chief minister is Revanth Reddy of the Indian National Congress since 7 December 2023.
History[edit]The state of Telangana was officially formed on 2 June 2014. Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao was elected as the first chief minister of Telangana, following elections in which the Telangana Rashtra Samithi party secured a majority.[3] Rao was re-elected to office in 2018. Following the 2023 election, Revanth Reddy of the Indian National Congress was elected as chief minister.

List of chief ministers of Hyderabad State List of chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh Notes[edit] ^ a b President's rule may be imposed when the "government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution", which often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly. When the President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[5] ^ After 58 years, the state was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states on 2 June 2014 by Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014. After state reorganisation, Andhra Pradesh Sasana sabha seats come down from 294 to 175 seats.References[edit] ^ Durga Das Basu.
