PR Chiru Opponent Usha Gets Ministry?
Major irrigation minister P Lakshmaiah, who won with a wafer-thin margin of 44 votes may lose his cabinet post, sources said. Lakshmaiah may be considered for the post of the PCC chief. The possibility of making him the Assembly Speaker also cannot be discounted.
YSR will also have to search for a suitable Muslim candidate to replace energy minister Mohd Shabbir Ali who lost the polls. Among the new faces who are likely to be inducted into the cabinet are chief whip N Kiran Kumar Reddy, D Sridhar Babu, D L Ravindra Reddy, B Usharani (another giant killer from Palakollu who defeated Chiranjeevi) and K Rambhupal Reddy from Panyam in Kurnool district. However, the selection of the aspirants would have to be based on the caste and regional equations, party sources said.
The Congress Legislature Party is likely to meet on Monday to elect YSR as the leader. He is expected to take oath as CM on May 20 and leave for Bethlehem on May 23 on pilgrimage.
Reddy is scheduled to return on May 30 after which the Assembly would meet for a fullfledged budget session in the first week of June.
