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 of which belongs to Bharat Rashtra Samithi party, its founder and former Minister of Labour and Employment of the Republic of India 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.
