The YSRCP is currently re-assigning a few of its ministries, and is also re-assigning a few posts in its cabinet, which have been recently vacated. It is also expanding the number of positions in its cabinet.
According to the latest reports, this will be done on the 22nd of this month, and all the new ministers will take their oaths on that very day itself. The YSRCP has made it very clear that the empty seats will be given to only to the person belonging to the same community as the one that resigned in that position.
MLA Chelluboina Venugopala Krishna, belonging to the Setti Balija community, is reportedly set to get a ministry, and MLA Seediri Appalaraju, belonging to the fishermen community is said to be getting another ministry. The YSRCP is said to officially announce these names within the next 1 or 2 days.
On the other hand, the YSRCP has reportedly come to a decision about the candidates who can fill in the vacant MLC posts. When Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose and Mopidevi were given Rajya Sabha seats, they reigned their position as MLCs.
The YSRCP has also recently requested the Governor to nominate two candidates under the Governor quota, for the consideration to the post of MLCs. These two candidates are Raichoti minority women member Maina Zakia Khan, and West Godavari SC member Mosen Raju.
