Chief Minister of Telangana

In a nutshell

The Chief Minister of Telangana is the head of government of the Indian state of Telangana. As per the Constitution of India, the governor of Telangana is the state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister, a template applicable to all other Indian states. Following elections to the Telangana Legislative Assembly, the governor usually invites the political party (or a coalition of political parties) with a majority of assembly seats to form the government in the state. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers is collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that they have the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years, renewable, and is subject to no term limits. Usually, the chief minister also serves as the leader of the house in the legislative assembly.
