The 12 going-to-be Ministers of Telangana

CM KCR has fixed the date and time for the cabinet expansion and now the list of MLAs who will be turning ministers got revealed.

It will be Etela Rajender, Talasani Srinivas Yadav, Jogu Ramanna, Errabelli Dayakar Rao, Redyanayak, Koppula Eshwar, Vivek Goud, Prashanth Reddy, Singireddy Niranjan Reddy, Jagadeesh Reddy, Vinaya Bhasker and last but not least it is TDP MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah.

Etela, Talasani, Jogu and Jagadeesh have retained their cabinet berth while the rest of the candidates are new faces. On February 19th, these 12 men will take oath in the presence of KCR and Governor ESL Narasimhan at Raj Bhavan.

However their portfolios are yet to be known. Etela and Talasani are likely to get Finance and cinematography respectively.

To everyone’s surprise, TRS working president KTR and Siddipet MLA Harish Rao’s names were not included.

Once again, it appears that there is no woman representation in the cabinet. But there are high rumours that Padma Devender Reddy is likely to be inducted. We have to wait till the nth minute to get a conformation.
