KCR May Start With 2 Deputy CMs & 12 Other Ministers, Including Harish Rao & KTR

According to TRS sources, KCR is still deliberating on the final size and shape of his ministry. Broad details of the thought process are that he would swear-in with 2 deputy CMs from Dalit & Muslim communities and 12 other ministers, most of them who had previous experiences in being ministers. KCR will swear on June 2nd at 12.57 pm at Raj Bhavan. Both Harish Rao & KTR are expected to be in the cabinet. KCR seem to be keen to hand over at least 2 of the critical ministries like Power, Irrigation and Agriculture to Harish Rao as he sees his ‘hand-on’ approach a big plus to make progress in these areas that formed the backbone of the narrative of neglect in Telangana movement. The very articulate KTR with his experience in IT and rapport he built with national media is expected to take over ministry of IT and Industries. Other probable members in the KCR’s team include -

E Rajender, Jupally Krishna Rao, P Babu Mohan, Jogu Ramanna, Nayini Narasimha Reddy, Pocharam Srinivas Reddy, Jagdeeshwar Reddy, T Rajaiah, J Venkat Rao, Konda Surekha, K Swamy Goud and P Mahender Reddy.

While Ajmeera Chandu Lal is likely to be the first speaker of the Telangana Assembly, Vinod Kumar is expected to be the TRS Lok Sabha leader.
