Anumula Revanth Reddy Named New Chief Minister of Telangana

Reddy, credited for leading Congress to victory in recent Assembly elections, will be sworn in on December 7.

Anumula Revanth Reddy, the Telangana Congress president, has been named the new chief minister of Telangana, succeeding K Chandrashekar Rao.
Reddy led the Congress to victory in the recent Assembly elections, winning 65 of the 119 seats and ending the 10-year rule of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS).
Reddy, who switched to the Congress from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) in 2017, has been credited for this victory despite some Telangana Congress leaders dubbing him an 'outsider'.
Reddy's swearing-in ceremony as the second chief minister of Telangana, which was carved out from Andhra Pradesh in 2004, will take place on December 7 in Hyderabad.
The decision to appoint Reddy was made by party president Mallikarjun Kharge after a series of discussions and meetings with the party's central leadership.
