CM KCR to Expand Cabinet after Fest, New faces to figure in Cabinet

Hyderabad, January 14: The Telangana Govt on Sunday completed a month in office with a cabinet of two- CM K Chandrasekhar Rao and home Minister Mohd Mahmood Ali. The Care Taker of Telangana is now likely to induct four to eight ministers into his cabinet after Sankranthi. A full-fledged expansion is likely only after KCR performs Maha Yagam at his farm in Erravelli.

According to the sources, Former deputy Speaker Padma Devender Reddy is most probably set to become first woman minister in the Telangana chief minister K Chandrashekhar Rao’s Cabinet. Former MPs – Gutta Sukhender Reddy, Balka Suman and Ch Malla Reddy– may get berth in the Cabinet.

The Sources also added that, G Sunitha, Puvvada Ajay Kumar, Danam Nagender, Errabelli Dayakar Rao and Palla Jajeshwar Reddy may figure in the Cabinet.Party sources say about eight MLAs may get berth in the first phase of Cabinet expansion.

All eyes on TRS working president KT Rama Rao and former irrigation minister T Harish Rao as speculation is rife about whether they would be inducted or not. The recent review meetings of KCR on irrigation and visit to Kaleshwaram were concluded without participation of Harish Rao and this raised many eyebrows in the state.
