State Cabinet

Andhra pradesh state, for a long time, known as a stronghold of congress party.Among 42 Parliamentary seats here congress managed to fetch 32 seats.But now the times changed.The separate statehood Telangana issue quelled without any proper solution.But the 'Chingari' of revolt is not silenced.The demand for telangana still remains among the people.Though the Telangana issue is not on the cards of political leaders, the sentiment is not on the roads.On the other hand the Telangana Congress leaders are agitating against the Seemandhra domination in the cabinet.

Unhappy over the recent cabinet 'induction'.State government,being pressurized by Chiranjeevi bandwagon, inducted its two members in the cabinet.Though many sections of Congress party were against such 'induction'. At the same time the seema leader and PCC chief Botsa were of an idea to induct his men in the cabinet.Where as Chief minister was also busy in lobbying for his men.But Congress high command does not bent to both of the leaders and permitted only two PRP leaders to be inducted in cabinet.The oath taking ceremony was very simple and fast.The two were given two portfolios. But the uneasy feeling was visible right from the start of this debate of expansion in the cabinet.Telangana legislators were expecting berths in cabinet as they were reportedly promised by the High command.

When the Telangana issue was on its peak, the Telangana congress leaders were told to keep quiet.In return congress leaders were lured with the promise of rewards and posts in party and government.But only few leaders from Telangana got the 'rewards'.So, naturally the other Telangana leaders feel they are in lurch and lagging in nabbing the posts.

The other congress leaders expected to get berths in cabinet.But meanwhile the merger of PRP raised identity problems for the Telanagan leaders in congress.The bigwigs of Telangana were ignored or marginalized in party after the induction of PRP MLAs in the party.

But now the Telangana leaders are not showing any interest towards any activity of party and they are also threatening to ignore the campaigning of upcoming by elections in the Telangana region.Congress is fearing to lose the support of its own party leaders.Analysts and some sources in Congress party are saying now that there will be another shuffle in State Cabinet to cool down the Telangana Congress leaders.Let us see what happens to the Kiran's Cabinet in the near future..
