Revanth Reddy, emphasizing the people-centric approach of his administration, extended an open invitation to the public to participate in the ceremony. He expressed his commitment to providing democratic and transparent governance.
Media reports suggest that Congress MLA-elect and former CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka may assume the role of deputy chief minister.
CPI General Secretary D Raja, representing the Congress’s pre-poll ally, is expected to attend the ceremony, as confirmed by CPI MLA-elect Kunamneni Sambasiva Rao.
Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar are also likely attendees, with Shivakumar having played a role as an AICC observer in coordinating the CLP meeting in Hyderabad.

The Congress emerged victorious in the recent Assembly polls, securing 64 out of 119 seats, defeating the Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS). With the mantle of leadership officially passed on by the AICC, Revanth Reddy is set to assume office, ushering in a new era for Telangana.
