Telangana becomes the second southern state in Congress’ kitty in 2023, after it emerged triumphant in Karnataka in May.

Anumula Revanth Reddy, who led the Congress’ charge, finds himself on the brink of a potential chief ministership. The 56-year-old leader met top police officials of the state and discussed the security arrangements for the swearing-in ceremony, likely on December 4 or 9.

A Revanth Reddy, the state Congress chief, has requested that the Telangana police set up security for the December 4 or 9 swearing-in ceremony, the police department stated on Sunday.

On Sunday, Reddy, whose party was comfortably leading to reach the 60-seat simple majority threshold, requested the state Director General of Police (DGP) Anjani Kumar organize security for the swearing-in ceremony.

According to a Telangana Police release, Reddy contacted and spoke with the DGP, ADG CID, and Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) regarding the setup for the swearing-in ceremony, which is anticipated to take place either on Monday or on December 9.
