Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy on Saturday distributed portfolios among ministers and the newly elected cabinet took oath amid boycott from BJP leaders. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy was the first to take oath, followed by Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka.

AIMIM MLA Akbaruddin Owaisi presided over the proceedings as the pro-tem Speaker. The Pro-tem Speaker serves a temporary role, officiating the Assembly session until the newly-elected members are sworn in and a Speaker is elected. CM Revanth Reddy also handed over the list of his ministers to Telangana Governor.

BJP MLA T Raja Singh said he would never take oath "as long as he is alive" in front of the AIMIM. He said he would take oath only after a full term speaker is appointed. "BJP MLAs will boycott taking oath before this Protem Speaker. Our MLAs will take oath after a Speaker is appointed. We will never ally with such a party (AIMIM). We will go to the Governor on this," he said.
