It is reported that Telangana CM K Chandrasekhar Rao is also looking into the options of cabinet rejig. It might happen very soon and a young team will be made to work for achieving Bangaru Telangana. Santosh Shastri the purohit who gave Ugadi predictions gave KCR some suggestions in person and the CM is going to implement them.
The strategy is to put the party burden on old guards led by a young man. The grooming of the new members for the proposed new assembly seats also will start soon. To this effect the TRS party office is being expanded. The parking has been shifted to outer ring of the party office so that the workers and leaders will have more space in the office.
KTR made a surprise visit to the party office and suggested the ways and means of beautification. He also suggested for increase in greenery in and around the part office as part of beautification. There could be canteen also for the party workers soon it is learnt. The party office will get a better face lift, greenery, lighting apart from water facility etc. More toilets will also be constructed for the party workers coming from across the state.
The whole idea is to come back to power in the next elections and serve the people in a better manner.
When it comes to Andhra ,Cabinet berths for MLC Nara Lokesh and Allagadda MLA Bhuma Akhila Priya has been finalized by TDP Leadership it is reported.
Police sources say, About 6 Ministers in the present Cabinet will be dropped. Almost equal number of new faces will be inducted into the Cabinet.
Chandrababu Naidu will also change the portfolios of existing Ministers. HRD Minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao has requested CM to offer him some other portfolio. Labour Minister Achhannaidu might get an elevation. A list of 60 MLAs is under examination and this team will fight the next elections. They will be lead by Akhilesh.
Chances of inducting Kala Venkata Rao into Cabinet were high. Among the YCP MLAs who joined TDP, Amarnath Reddy and Jyothula Nehru are the frontrunners for plum posts. But this is all based on the lalk going on. Babu might change his mind overnight also. When it comes to KCR it is very difficult to read his mind. He always plays the cards very close to his chest.
