Looks like the wait is finally over. Those waiting to get cabinet berths in Telangana have good news. On Ugadi, CM Revanth Reddy met up with Governor Jishnu Dev Varma along with ministers Seetakka and Jupally Krishna Rao.
The CM spoke to the Governor for 1 hour leading to speculation that it was regarding cabinet expansion. It is said that the CM submitted the list of new ministers to the Governor.
The party High Command also gave signal from its side. The expansion date is set for April 3, 2025, it is being said. Four new ministers will be inducted into the cabinet this time, though there are six vacancies. As the expansion has been pending for 15 months, the High Command is said to have directed the government to complete the process.
We have already reported that the state leaders had met up with central leaders and discussed the names based on caste and social equations. Right now, Nizamabad, Adilabad, Hyderabad and Rangareddy need to be represented in the cabinet.
For Adilabad, SC Chennur MLA, Gaddam Vivek Venkataswamy is almost finalised. As for Reddy community, two ministers will be getting the berths. In the race are Munugodu MLA Komatireddy Rajagopala Reddy and Bodhan MLA Prodduturi Sudarshan Reddy.
Rajagopal Reddy has been aspiring for a berth for a long time now. He has also expressed to media several times that he wants the home portfolio which is with the CM right now.
Similarly, in Nizamabad, Prodduturi Sudarshan Reddy is on the list. From Mudiraj quota, Maktal MLA Vakati Srihari has been shortlisted.
