The Indian state of Telangana was founded in 2014. Its territory had formerly been part of Andhra Pradesh. The Telangana movement was instrumental in the creation of the new state, and Bharat Rashtra Samithi (previously, Telangana Rashtra Samithi), a party which led the Telangana movement after 2001, formed the government in the Telangana Legislative Assembly under its leader K. Chandrashekar Rao as the 1st Chief Minister of the state. The political landscape of Telangana is dominated by the Indian National Congress and the Bharat Rashtra Samithi, with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen being other significant forces.
The Indian National Congress draws most of its strength from rural areas whereas the Bharat Rashtra Samithi and All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen have their strongholds in the GHMC and surrounding areas.
The Telugu Desam Party and the YSR Congress Party also used to have major sway in the state, although they have since lost most of their presence, and have been limited to residual Andhra Pradesh.
The incumbent Chief Minister of the state is Revanth Reddy from the Indian National Congress.
