Telangana CM List: Chief Ministers of Telangana with Name, Party and Tenure

After winning the 2023 Legislative Assembly Election, Congress has declared the name of the next Chief Minister. Article 164 of the Indian Constitution deals with the appointment of the Chief Minister and other Ministers by the Governor. The Governor is de jure head of the state but the Chief Minister is de facto head of the state. In simpler terms, the Chief Minister heads the state government in India. 

Telangana was carved out of Andhra Pradesh on 2 June 2014 as an outcome of the Telangana Movement. The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014, commonly referred to as Telangana Act, bifurcated the state of Andhra Pradesh into Telangana and the residuary Andhra Pradesh state.

The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014 defined the boundaries of the States of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, determined the division of assets and liabilities between them and designated Hyderabad as the permanent capital of Telangana and the temporary capital of Andhra Pradesh.
