The suspense over who will be the Congress Chief Minister in Telangana is over. TPCC president A Revanth Reddy, who had revived the party in the last six months, will be the youngest chief minister of Telangana. Revanth will take oath on Thursday at 10 am. The High command has also finalized the names of the council of ministers.
This decision was made by AICC after consulting all the contenders and party observers. The name of Revanth Reddy has been given to D K Shiv Kumar, who has arrived in Hyderabad. The announcement will be made soon. In the meantime, party general secretary K C Venugopal had a meeting with Shivkumar and Bhatti Vikramarka in New Delhi.
It is learned that Bhatti will be the Deputy Chief Minister. On the other hand, N Uttam Kumar Reddy, who was also in the race, met party leaders and made his case, highlighting his seven consecutive wins in elections on Congress ticket and his loyalty to the party with a military background. However, the party high command has decided on Revanth’s name. Uttam will soon submit his resignation to Lok Sabha to be able to take oath in the state Assembly.
