Telangana chief minister A Revanth Reddy thanked his Andhra Pradesh counterpart Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy for his greetings to him on assuming charge. Jagan Mohan Reddy sent greetings to Revanth Reddy and his team of ministers through social media on Thursday.

After assuming the office, Revanth Reddy posted in the social media thanking Jagan Mohan Reddy for his good wishes. He further said that as a brotherly Telugu state, he was looking forward to a healthy relationship with Andhra Pradesh.

The Telangana chief minister also said that he was looking for a healthy relationship with all other states along with Andhra Pradesh. He wanted other states including Andhra Pradesh to help Telangana develop as a fast state.

Revanth Reddy assumed charge as the chief minister in L B Stadium on Thursday. Governor Tamilasi Soundarajan administered the oath to Revanth Reddy and 11 other ministers.

Later, Revanth Reddy visited the secretariat and took the charge as the chief minister. He also chaired the cabinet meeting in the evening and took the decision to implement all his electoral promises. He allocated portfolios to the 11 cabinet colleagues.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana are yet to settle several issues related to the AP Reorganisation Act 2014. Schedule IX and X institutions are to be settled and the bank accounts are to be settled between the two Telugu states.

Former chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao and Jagan Mohan Reddy held talks once in the last five years, but nothing had happened. The Union Home Ministry also held four rounds of meetings with the officials of the two Telugu states in the past. But there was no breakthrough yet.

It is to be seen how best both Jagan Mohan Reddy and Revanth Reddy would sort out these issues in the days to come. However, there would not be any meeting between the two chief ministers before Andhra Pradesh goes for general election in 2024.
