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 only one chief minister, who belongs to Telangana Rashtra Samithi party, its founder and former Union Minister of Labour and Employment K. Chandrashekar Rao is an inaugural and current holder of the office who sworn in two times by winning the 2014 and 2018 assembly elections consecutively.
The current incumbent is K. Chandrashekar Rao of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi since 2 June 2014.
