The Chief Minister of Telangana is the chief executive of the south Indian state of Telangana. As per the Constitution of India, the governor is a state's de jure head, but de facto executive authority rests with the chief minister. Following elections to the Telangana Legislative Assembly, the state's governor usually invites the party (or coalition) with a majority of seats to form the government. The governor appoints the chief minister, whose council of ministers are collectively responsible to the assembly. Given that he has the confidence of the assembly, the chief minister's term is for five years and is subject to no term limits.[1]

Telangana's first chief minister is K. Chandrashekar Rao of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, holds office. He is the chief minister since the secession of Telangana from Andhra Pradesh on 2 June 2014. He dissolved the assembly on 6 September 2018 and is currently the care taker CM until the next government is sworn in.[2]
