The Chief Minister of Telangana, as per the Indian Constitution, holds de facto executive power in the state. Following legislative elections, the governor invites the party with a majority to form the government, and the appointed chief minister serves a term of five years or until the next elections. No term limits apply, provided the chief minister maintains the assembly’s confidence. If confidence is lost, a new coalition can claim government formation, or fresh elections may be called. Telangana, established in 2014, has seen two chief ministers: K. Chandrashekar Rao from the Bharat Rashtra Samithi and the current incumbent, A. Revanth Reddy of the Indian National Congress since December 7, 2023.

Chief Ministers of Telangana
Since June 2, 2014, Kalvakuntla Chandrashekar Rao, widely known as KCR and born on February 17, 1954, has been Telangana’s inaugural and continuous Chief Minister. His significant political presence stems from his role as the founder and leader of India’s Bharat Rashtra Samithi (TRS) party.

His dedicated efforts culminated in the historic establishment of Telangana as an independent state.
