Revanth Reddy sworn in as Telangana Chief Minister after Congress win

A Revanth Reddy, a senior Congress leader, was sworn in as chief minister of Telangana on 7 December 2023. The ceremony followed the Congress party's victory in the state Assembly election, held in late November 2023, which ended the decade-long rule of the Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS), formerly the Telangana Rashtra Samithi.

The win was the first for Congress in Telangana since the state was carved out of Andhra Pradesh in 2014. Reddy, who had led the party's state unit and campaigned heavily, was chosen as the legislature party's leader after consultations with the party's central leadership in Delhi.

The campaign leaned on a package of promises known as the "six guarantees", covering welfare areas such as financial aid for women, subsidised services and support for farmers. Delivering these guarantees became a central test for the new government, and later welfare announcements, including the proposed family life insurance cover, are often viewed against those commitments.
