KCR takes oath as Telangana CM for second consecutive term

TIL Desk/National/Telangana/ And here’s a decision that has never been in doubt. At the Raj Bhavan in Hyderabad, K Chandrasekhar Rao takes oath as the Chief Minister of Telangana, for a second term. He took oath at 1:34 pm.

Rao’s Telangana Rashtra Samiti on Tuesday steamrolled a feeble Opposition challenge to win the assembly elections by a landslide, riding pro-Telangana sentiments and the success of a raft of populist schemes launched by his government.

Rao,64, who emerged as the mascot of Telangana pride when he led the massive movement that convulsed undivided Andhra Pradesh and ended with the creation of the youngest state of the country in 2014, powered his party winning 88 seats in the 119-member assembly.
