Congress is yet to name a CM face with multiple contenders emerging after it won 65 of 119 seats dethroning KCR's BRS in Telangana. State chief Revanth Reddy, 54, is the forerunner for the post after extensively touring Telangana energizing cadres and drawing attention to issues plaguing citizens. His fierce campaigning is credited as catalyzing the resurgence. As the Congress Legislature Party meeting is underway, Congress leader V. Hanumantha Rao said, "We will have to see what is decided in the CLP meeting. Most probably, Revanth Reddy has chances to become the Chief Minister going by all the work he did." The other contenders for the post feature, CLP leader Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka due to his 1,400 km march that helped gauge voter issues to guide the comeback strategy. Ex-state chief Uttam Kumar Reddy also retains strong support despite the 2021 replacement.
