Did Harish Really Reject Mining Dept?

Did Harish Really Reject Mining Dept?

The sudden reshuffle of portfolios by Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao on Monday evening has caused a flutter in political circles, leading to a hush talk that he is deliberately reducing the prominence of his nephew T Harish Rao.

A few hours before the reshuffle of portfolios, there was a leak to the media from the Chief Minister’s Office that Harish Rao had requested the Chief Minister to relieve him of mining portfolio because he was feeling too much burdensome with other portfolios like marketing, irrigation and legislative affairs.

It was surprising, as nobody would reject the mining portfolio because it is lucrative and at the same time, is not very burdensome compared to marketing and irrigation. If Harish Rao is really burdened with heavy work, KCR would have shifted marketing portfolio to other minister, instead of mining.

But, by evening, KCR relieved Harish Rao of the mining department and gave it to his son K T Rama Rao, who was also given other important subject of industries and public enterprises.

In fact, KTR has the highest number of portfolios most of them are very keen and lucrative. This has given rise to the suspicion that Harish Rao was stripped of mining portfolio only for the benefit of KTR, instead of the earlier assumption that Harish wanted to get rid of mining.

Let us see what is going to happen in the TRS in the coming years!
