Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao, who started the exercise to form his cabinet, has been facing a peculiar problem in finding a suitable candidate for the Speaker post in Legislative Assembly.
This is because none of the TRS seniors who won Assembly elections are coming forward to take up this job citing Speaker’s chair as ‘jinxed’.
Most of the earlier Speakers who worked in Undivided AP and even in Telangana now, were defeated in the subsequent elections and lost their political grounds.
In Undivided AP, Narayan Rao, P Ramachandra Reddy, D Sripada Rao, Pratibha Bharathi and K R Suresh Reddy worked as Speakers.
Only Yanamala Ramakrishnudu was the exception but he too faced political problems later by losing elections consecutively.
Ironically, all of them lost subsequent Assembly elections and went into political oblivion.
The first Speaker of Telangana Legislative Assembly Madhusudhana Chary also lost Assembly seat from Bhupalapally recently despite TRS wave across the state.
This triggered panic among TRS seniors that their political career will end if they take up Speaker’s post.
KCR has offered to elect Etela Rajender, Padma Devender Reddy, Koppula Eashwar, Redya Naik as Speaker now.
But all of them are said to be pleading with KCR to leave them and look for some other alternative.
