The chief minister, Mr N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, is planning a major reshuffle in the Cabinet and might be dropping four to five ministers and inducting six to eight new members.

Mr Reddy is expected to visit New Delhi around June 27 to meet the party affairs in-charge, Mr Ghulam Nabi Azad, and the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, to get the list approved. This will be Mr Reddy’s first reshuffle of his Cabinet which was formed seven months ago. Sources said that the changes will take place immediately after the chief minister comes back from New Delhi. They said that all the ministers’ portfolios would be reshuffled along the lines of spirit of social justice and balancing all regions, castes and seniority.
The chief minister will most probably convene an informal Cabinet meeting around the same time and take resignations from the ministers for a smooth reshuffle. Sources also said that the transport minister, Mr Botsa Satyanarayana, will be asked to resign following his appointment as PCC chief under the one man-one post rule.
The names of the first woman home minister of the country Ms Sabita Indra Reddy, textile minister Dr P. Shanker Rao, infrastructure minister Mr Komatireddy Venkata Reddy, secondary education minister Mr K. Parthasarathy, minorities minister Mr Mohammed Ahmadullah and animal husbandry minister Mr Pinipe Viswaroop, are doing the rounds as the probable losers.
