Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy to have 5 Deputy CMs
The new Council of Ministers will be constituted at a public
function here on Saturday.
In what could be an unprecedented move, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on
Friday decided to have five Deputy Chief Ministers under him in a full
25-member Cabinet.
The new Council of Ministers will be constituted at a public
function on Saturday.
The Chief Minister held a meeting of the YSR Congress Legislature Party at
his residence on Friday morning where he announced the decision to appoint five
deputies.
One each from the SC, ST, BC, minority and Kapu communities would be the
Deputy CMs.
He also told his legislators that the Cabinet would
predominantly comprise members of the weaker sections, contrary to expectations
that the Reddy community would get the lion’s share.
He said the Cabinet would be reconstituted two-and-a-half years later
after a mid-term review of the government’s performance.
