There is talk that Revanth Reddy will seek approval regarding filling up the Cabinet posts. It is known that six cabinet berths are vacant. Rangareddy, Adilabad, Nizamabad and Hyderabad don’t have any representation in the state Cabinet.
Hence, leaders from different communities are in the race for a berth. In Nizamabad, Sudarshan Reddy is in race with many others. In Adilabad, Prem Sagar Rao and MLA Mallu Ravi are in the race. Prem Sagar Rao had threatened of dire consequences if he is not given a berth, publicly.

However, if Rajagopal Reddy is given a berth, will his brother Komatireddy Venkata Reddy be continued in the Cabinet is the big question now. But CM Revanth Reddy is said to be in favour of Rajgopal Reddy.
As for Hyderabad and Rangareddy districts, the berth could go to munnuru kapu and party whip Adi Srinivas. From lambada community, Balu Nayak and MLC Mir Ali Khan from Muslim community are also in consideration.
