Kalvakuntla Chandrasekhar Rao has taken oath as the Chief Minister of Telangana for a second consecutive term. Mohammed Mahmood Ali, a Deputy Chief Minister in KCR's maiden Cabinet, is the only other Minister who took the oath at the Raj Bhavan on Thursday.
Governor E. S. L. Narasimhan administered the oath to the two leaders in the swearing-in ceremony that lasted just four minutes. KCR said on Wednesday the Cabinet would be expanded next week.
KCR's TRS registered a landslide victory in the just concluded Assembly polls by clinching 88 of the 119 seats in the Assembly. The Congress was restricted to just 19 seats, followed by the TDP with two and the BJP with only one seat.
