Telangana’s first Chief Minister KCR is all set for his first-ever cabinet expansion. If all goes well, the expansion will take place in the last week of December. As part of this, KCR has met Governor ESL Narsimhan on Sunday and conveyed the same. At present, the total tally of ministers in Telangana is 12, including CM KCR who himself holds several important portfolios.
It is learnt that 6 more members could be included in the cabinet. According to sources in the privy, KCR is planning to take in 2 Lady ministers and four other ministers into his cabinet. So far, Mahabubnagar and Khammam has no representation in the cabinet. At the same time, there is no representation of women and STs in the cabinet which KCR is going to make up this time around. We hear that Thummala Nageswara Rao’s (Khammam ex TDP leader) berth in the cabinet is almost confirmed and Jupalli Krishna Rao who played pivotal role in the Telangana movement. Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Koppula Eeshwar’s names are also doing strong buzz.
Srinivas Goud, Indrakaran Reddy’s names are also being considered. Chandulal of Warangal district is in the race under ST reservation. Konda Surekha is said to be in race for lady minister. Kova Lakshmi, Rekha Nayak are in the race under both women and ST reservation category. Given that there is a huge dearth of AIS (All India Service) officers in the new state, KCR is planning to expand his cabinet so that it’d ease his job and concentrate on other crucial aspects of the governance. The news of KCR’s cabinet expansion has heated up the political atmosphere.
