: TRS chief K Chandrasekhar Rao, who led his party to a two-thirds majority in the December 7 assembly elections in Telangana, will be formally elected leader of the legislature party Wednesday, party sources said.
A meeting of the legislature party has been convened at 11.30 AM here Wednesday, the sources said.
Asked when Rao would be sworn in as Chief Minister, a senior TRS leader told PTI: "Tomorrow, he (Rao) will take a call on that.
It (swearing-in) will definitely happen before December 15... after the 15th it's not auspicious".
Meanwhile, Rao met the Governor E S L Narasimhan at the Raj Bhavan Tuesday to stake his claim to form the government for a second time.
Rao had dissolved the Assembly in September eight months ahead of schedule in a political gamble that paid off handsomely in the elections, with his party the TRS decimating its rivals, winning 84 of the 119 seats in the assembly.
The Congress won 18, while the Asadudding Owaisi led AIMIM, which supported TRS, bagged seven. The BJP won just one seat.
