Jalagam Vengala Rao From10 December 1973 6 March 1978 1547 (settler)

The above numbers may look bad, comparatively with respect to CM's from each region, but if we observe, that there was a major change after 1983, when NTR became Chief Minister. He changed the demographics of leadership and Bought the One leader per party into picture. YSR and CBN adapted to that new idea.

When NTR bought Telugudesam to power in 1983, it was unanimous decision, that he will be CM. He was not nominated, and was elected to take over Andhra Pradesh. CBN's first 3.5 years in rule is through a back door entry, but he did have majority of MLA's supporting him at that period and he did prove that he is worth the CM seat for state in the 1999 elections.

YSR was mostly Opposition leader and he did do his hardwork by doing padhayatra and he focussed himself as state leader in 2004. I am sure and its undisputed decision that he will be chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, if congress comes back to power. Same was the case in 2009 too. These 3 leaders has changed the way elections are contested mostly according to me, as they were unanimous decision.

I would not dispute about the other leaders we had, from different regions, and they had their administrative positives and negatives, but according to me can be considered as a more regional level leaders.

For example, D. Srinivas may be PCC chief, but I am sure that he would not secure even a mandal seat in andhra region. He is powerful enough to grant him the seat as High command, but not worth enough to win it. Same is the case with ex-cm K. Rosayya, or current CM Kiran kumar reddy. They hardly win their own seats.

Out of the 8340 days Rayalseema people have ruled the state, We can take the CBN period and YSR period aside, (3178+1581) = 4759 days making Leaving it to 3591 days.

Out of the 6422 days of andhra region rule, if we take off the NTR's period of (585+1903+263) = 2751 days the remaining period is at 3671 days.

As Jalgam vengal rao has done more betterment for Khammam and his achievements were eradicating naxal moviement in telengana, and considering that he was not nominated, but won his elections from Khammam region, and Khammam being part of Telengana region, irrespective of what he personally though, Telengana region leaders ruled for 2298+1547 = 3845 days.

I am not proving that Telengana had a major share in CM seat, but would convey that people elected from Telengana had a greater say and could convey the High command to get CM seat majority of time.
