Who will be the new Dy CM of AP?

It is more or less confirmed that Deputy Chief Minister KE Krishna Murthy will be shown door in the next expansion. He may be stripped off the Deputy Chief Minister post and will also be shifted to an irrelevant portfolio. In order to maintain the social balance, KE will be replaced by another BC MLA as the Deputy Chief Minister.

Buzz in the TDP circles is that Penukonda MLA, Parthasarathy may be the one who is going to replace KE Krishnamurthy. Being a BC Leader and hailing from Rayalaseema will come in his favour. More over he is a confidante of Chandrababu Naidu for a long time.

Chandrababu Naidu is also not happy with the other deputy Chief Minister Nimmakayala Chinna Rajappa but he is expected to be retained. The cabinet reshuffle is expected to happen after Dussehra. Naidu will fill up the Minority and ST Ministers void in his cabinet with this shuffle. Accordingly, MLCs Shariff and Sandhya Rani are likely to get easy gate pass.
