Fact Sheet: Seniors make merry Cabinet!
The Congress high command has ordered Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy to give priority to seniors in the Cabinet expansion. Everybody thought veteran Congress MLAs like V Purushottam Reddy, Gade Venkat Reddy or Penmetsa Sambasiva Raju would get the chance, but YSR surprised everybody by picking up seniors, but not the senior most – like Chinna Reddy, Subhash Chandra Bose, S Chandrasekhar, Kasu Krishna Reddy and M Buddha Prasad.
However, seniormost among the ministers could get better portfolios. Most of the existing ministers could retain their portfolios – like Rosaiah (Finance), Jana Reddy (Home), J C Diwakar Reddy (Panchayat Raj), Raghuveera Reddy (Agriculture), Ponnala Lakshmaiah (Major Irrigation), Shabbir Ali (Power), Kanna Lakshmi Narayana (Transport), J Geetha Reddy (Major Industries) Konathala Ramakrishna (Commercial Taxes) and Koneru Ranga Rao (Municipal Administration). Other seniors also could garner key portfolios like Jeevan Reddy (Roads and Buildings), Chinna Reddy (Rural Development), R Chenga Reddy (Technical Education) and Kasu Krishna Reddy (Civil Supplies). Others could get only the remaining insignicant portfolios.
Thus, it is evident that seniors could get their due share in the Cabinet expansion.
