The Congress Chief Minister may take oath around 6 pm in the evening. This decision is being considered because today is Kartika Monday, which is considered auspicious. Additionally, there is a cyclone threat to Andhra Pradesh, which may also affect Telangana. The Raj Bhavan is making arrangements for the ceremony in case the Congress party decides to proceed. The General Administration Department officials and police are also making necessary preparations for the event.
In the meantime, CEO Vikas Raj will meet Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan at 2 pm to submit the list of all elected MLAs. The CLP meeting has already begun at Hotel Ella in Gachibowli. It is not yet clear if they will elect the leader during this meeting or pass a resolution authorizing the AICC to make the decision. Before the CLP meeting, AICC leaders met with all the MLAs to gather their opinions.
Prior to the CLP meeting, N Uttam Kumar Reddy, Bhatti Vikramarka, and Komatireddy Raja Gopal Reddy met with DK Shivkumar at Park Hyatt hotel.
