There is also talk of a couple of ministers being dropped. So, there is suspense over as to who will fill the gap. However, one thing is clear. After passing the BC reservation and SC categorization bills in state Assembly, the Congress has decided to implement social justice while selecting new members.
Then, there is the issue of finding candidates to represent Adilabad, Hyderabad, Rangareddy, Nizamabad. Sudarshan Reddy and many other names are bring heard from Nizamabad.
In Adilabad, Premsagar Rao and Vivek are in the race. But Vivek’s chances are bleak say Congress sources. Already, his son MP Vamsi not being invited for Saraswati pushkaralu breaking protocol has led to controversy.
Vakati Srihari Mudiraj is being considered for Mahabubnagar. Then there is Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy who is more or less confident of his induction. But there are questions about Komatireddy Venkatareddy being continued if that happens.
From Rangareddy, Ibrahimpatnam MLA Malreddy Rangareddy has been asking for a cabinet berth for a long time. In the minority quota, MLC Mir Alikhan could get a berth.
To appease the Munnuru Kapus, government whip Adi Srinivas might be considered. Balu Naik is in consideration to represent the lambada community.
The suspense will end on June 2, at 10.45 am, to be precise.
