In Telangana, after the recent Assembly and Lok Sabha elections, there is a lot of competition to secure positions in the state cabinet. Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy currently has 11 cabinet members, but there is room for seven more to be appointed.
One of the hopefuls for a cabinet position is Komatireddy Rajagopal Reddy, who played a significant role in the victory of Bhongir Lok Sabha candidate Ch Kiran Kumar Reddy. He is aiming to become the Home Minister. It is rumored that Revanth had promised Rajagopal Reddy a spot in the cabinet if Kiran Kumar Reddy won the election. However, there are concerns about having two brothers in the cabinet at the same time.
Other contenders for cabinet positions include Revuri Prakash Reddy, Kadiam Srihari, K Premsagar Rao, and K Madan Mohan Rao. Premsagar Rao believes his efforts in helping G Vamsi Krishna win the Peddapalli Lok Sabha seat should be recognized. Madan Mohan Rao was part of the team that supported Suresh Shetkar’s victory in the Zaheerabad MP seat. Srihari, from the Mudiraj community, is also being considered by Revanth as a potential BC leader to include in the cabinet.
