Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhara Rao is going to expand his Cabinet on December 16. The Cabinet, which presently has 11 members excluding the Chief Minister, can have 18 Ministers in the Assembly that has 119 seats.
About 5-6 legislators might be inducted into the Cabinet. Thummala Nageshwara Rao, who quit Telugu Desam Party to join Telangana Rashtra Samiti, and Jupally Krishna Rao, are tipped to become Ministers. A legislator representing STs might also get a Cabinet berth.
The Chief Minister might allocate some unallocated ministries such as Industries, while ‘lessening’ the burden of some Ministries.
The Chief Minister has met Governor E S L Narasimhan on Saturday reportedly to formally inform him about the plan to expand the Cabinet.
The new Ministers would take the oath at 11 a.m. on December 16 at the Raj Bhavan, a Government spokesperson said.
