After massive assembly election win, KCR to take oath as Telangana CM for second consecutive term today

After a thumping win in the Telangana assembly elections, K. Chandrashekhar Rao is set to take oath as the Chief Minister of India's youngest state for a second consecutive term today. The oath taking ceremony will be held at 1.30 p.m. at Raj Bhavan. Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan will administer the oath of office and secrecy to KCR. Earlier on Wednesday, KCR was elected as the leader by newly elected TRS legislators at a meeting held at the Telangana Bhavan, the TRS headquarters. The TRS chief told reporters after the meeting that since the Election Commission has to issue a Gazette notification, the constitution of a full-fledged cabinet may take few days. He said he would take the oath along with a colleague on Thursday. KCR also sent his resignation to the Governor to facilitate formation of the new government and his swearing-in. The TRS chief said he would try to give representation to all sections in the cabinet.
