On Thursday, a decade after its inception, Telangana got its second chief minister (CM), Anumala Revanth Reddy, and its first Dalit deputy CM in Mallu Bhatti Vikaramarka.
In his first decision after taking the oath, the 54-year-old CM began the process of implementing the Congress' six poll guarantees.
In the afternoon, Governor Tamilisai Soundararajan administered Reddy the oath of office in Hyderabad's Lal Bahadur Shastri Stadium in a well-attended ceremony.
Vikaramarka, Congress legislative party leader in the 2018-23 Assembly, took the oath. So did 10 others as minister.
Vikarabad legislator Gaddam Prasad Kumar will be speaker of the new Assembly, the party said.
Senior Congress leaders Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge, Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh CMS Siddaramaiah and Sukhvinder Singh, and Karnataka Deputy CM DK Shivkumar were present at the ceremony, as were representatives of INDIA (Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance) bloc partners. The stadium was packed with party workers from across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Congress leaders Ashok Gehlot and Bhupesh Baghel also attended.
