Congress high command to announce name of new Telangana CM likely this evening
Hyderabad, Dec 5 (UNI)- The Congress High Command is likely to announce the name of new Chief Minister of Telangana on Tuesday evening.
After the Congress stormed to power in the Telangana Assembly election, the individual opinions of the newly elected 64 legislators was taken at the CLP meeting held at a private hotel on Monday morning and passed a unanimous single line resolution authorising AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge to decide the Chief Minister.
The near 10-year-old rule of the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) in Telangana came to an end two days ago, and Chief Minister K Chandrashekhar Rao resigned from the post, which was accepted by Governor Dr Tamilsai Soundararajan.
KCR was asked to continue in office till the formation of the new government. The Congress party delayed the swearing–in of the Chief Minister and Ministers after some of its senior leaders are said to have objected to TPCC President Revanth Reddy’s name as CM.
According to party sources, most of the legislators are in favour of Revanth Reddy against other CM contenders of Uttam Kumar Reddy, former CLP leader Malli Bhatti Vikramarka and Sridhar Babu.
If Revanth is elected as CLP leader, the post of TPCC chief is likely to be given to a senior leader. Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar and AICC in-charge of Telangana Manikrao Thakare, went to the National capital in a special flight yesterday with the details of the opinions of the party MLAs on CM name and submitted to to Mallikarjuna Kharge today.
