Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is going to reshuffle the cabinet after, after Amaravathi capital stone ceremony, which might invite several controversies in the party.
On one side, Naidu is making all special arrangements to conduct Amaravathi capital stone ceremony in a grand way and the other side, he is even planning to reshuffle the cabinet.
As Andhrawishesh reported earlier in the past, Naidu analyzed the performance of the ministers in the past one and half year, through the progress cards and, it seems, he is unhappy with a few of the ministers in the cabinet.
So he is now deciding to replace them with new members. The close sources say, “At least four ministers might be replaced. In the view of the cabinet reshuffle, some of the senior leaders did not get a chance in the party executive committees of AP state and the central committee.”
Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, Gali Muddukrishnam Naidu and a few other names are being considered to get into the party, by replacing them in others position.
Expected leaders into TDP, after Amaravathi ceremony
Sravan Kumar from Tadikonda constituency, played a major role in the land pooling for the Andhra Pradesh new capital city Amaravati. So it can be expected that, he might get into the cabinet.
Along with him, Naidu is willing to bring AP Assembly Speaker Kodela Sivaprasada Rao into the Cabinet and replace him with Dhulipala Narendra, TD MLA from Ponnur constituency in Guntur district.
Even several other names like M.A. Sheriff, Gummadi Sandhya Rani, Payyavula Kesav, Modiyam Srinivasa Rao, Magunta Srinivasa Reddy, Somireddy Chandramohan Reddy, Gali Muddukrishnam Naidu, are also being heard to get into the TD cabinet.
RTC charges hike after Amaravathi ceremony
Along with reshuffling, Naidu even granted the APSRTC to hike the charges. Reportedly, he agreed to allow a hike of 3 paisa per km. He is going to announce this after Amaravathi stone ceremony. With the present hike, RTC will get Rs 300 crore additional revenue.
Change of IAS and IPS officers after Amaravathi stone ceremony
Naidu is even considering a plan of changing a few IAS and IPS officers after the Amaravati foundation ceremony.
Two IAS and one IPS officers are waiting for posting. Dinesh Kumar, Polavaram Project Authority CEO, is returning to AP government service. Even existing IAS officers also might face the change this time.
Andhra Pradesh state government even appoints some constitutional and other posts like State Election Commission, Lokayukta, Upa Lokayukta and others. Naidu will take a decision in this issue too, after Amaravathi stone ceremony.
Amaravathi stone ceremony is one such big issue, that Naidu is waiting for, to implement all the above discussed issues. In the reshuffling and hiking the charges, it is to be seen, what range the controversies would be.
