Telangana Governor Jishnu Dev Verma administered the oath of office and secrecy to Azharuddin.
Azharuddin is expected to take the oath tomorrow, adding to the much-needed social balance in Chief Minister Revanth Reddy’s cabinet, which, at present, does not have a single minority representative.
Azharuddin, who lost from the same seat during the Assembly elections in 2023, had, on his own, announced his candidature from Jubilee Hills, but the chief minister seemed reluctant to renominate him once again.
In Secunderabad Cantonment, the party has fielded GV Venella, the daughter of revolutionary bard Gaddar, who died a few months ago.
