Kiran Kumar Reddy will be sworn in as chief minister of Andhra Pradesh in Hyderabad on Thursday at 10 am.



Reddy, who was the Speaker of the Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly, takes charge as the chief minister, following the resignation of K Rosaiah earlier today.



Reddy's name had been doing the rounds since the past couple of weeks ever since it was rumoured that Rosaiah would be stepping down.



Earlier in the day, it was indicated that Geeta Reddy who is from the Telangana region would be made the deputy chief minister.
