Hyderabad: Irrigation Minister N Uttam Kumar Reddy hurried to Delhi on Tuesday, while Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy continued his visit there for the second day. This sudden trip by the minister, right after the CM met with top officials, sparked talk in political circles.
The AICC unexpectedly called the minister to New Delhi on Tuesday. His wife, Kodad MLA N Padmavathi Reddy, joined him, fueling more rumors. People started speculating about a possible cabinet reshuffle. There is talk that senior members like Uttam might receive important roles. There are also rumors that significant departments, like Home, might be given to other senior leaders, such as Deputy CM Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka. Although summoned, Vikramarka stayed in Hyderabad until late. According to sources, he plans to visit Madhira on Wednesday.
These top-level discussions have left many party members wondering about the real reason behind the urgent call for the irrigation minister to go to New Delhi. Recently, the cabinet expanded with three new ministers, causing disappointment among those who hoped for a position.
There are still three cabinet seats open, leading to speculation that the high command might strategically fill these to appease unhappy MLAs. This move aims to prevent any internal conflict and keep the party united.
