After years of protests, negotiations and parliamentary approval, the Andhra Pradesh Reorganization Act 2014 paved the way for its formation. Hyderabad was designated as the joint capital for a transitional period, while it later became the capital of Telangana. Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) president K Chandrashekar Rao was elected as the state’s first chief minister, after elections in which the party secured a majority.
