In 1953, Andhra State consisted of North Andhra, Coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. This state was carved out of the erstwhile Madras State.[1] Later, the Andhra state was merged with Telangana province of Hyderabad to form Andhra Pradesh in November 1956.
On 1 November 1956, Hyderabad State ceased to exist; its Gulbarga and Aurangabad divisions were merged into Mysore State and Bombay State respectively. Its remaining Telugu-speaking portion, Telangana, was added to Andhra State. After 58 years, the state was bifurcated into Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states on 2 June 2014 by Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2014.
Konda Venkata Ranga Reddy was the first deputy chief minister of Andhra Pradesh before its bifurcation and was appointed in 1959 under the chief ministership of Neelam Sanjeeva Reddy.[2]
Nimmakayala Chinarajappa and K. E. Krishnamurthy served as the inaugural Deputy Chief ministers of Andhra Pradesh post-bifurcation, being appointed in 2014 under the chief ministership of N. Chandrababu Naidu. In 2019, Pushpasreevani Pamula became the first woman to hold the post.[3][4]

Notes[edit]
- ^ President's rule may be imposed when the "government in a state is not able to function as per the Constitution", which often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly. When President's rule is in force in a state, its council of ministers stands dissolved. The office of chief minister thus lies vacant, and the administration is taken over by the governor, who functions on behalf of the central government. At times, the legislative assembly also stands dissolved.[8]
