The list of probable candidates for being included in Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy's cabinet is the current topic, and a focal point for discussion for all concerned, including the Chief Minister himself.
More than 24 hours after the swearing-in ceremony of the state's new head of government, the new Chief Minister is still vacillating in naming the full list of ministers. He is expected to divulge the details of his 'list' to the High Command when he reaches New Delhi.
The common man has been curious, and the administration is anxious for a full-fledged government that will set the ball rolling. In the absence of a full-fledged government, even the state Secretariat presents a deserted picture except the police keeping a strict vigil.
Earlier, the Chief Minister met Governor ESL Narasimhan, and APCC president D Srinivas also met former chief minister K Rosaiah at the latter's residence and held discussions.
The next caller for Rosaiah was Kiran Reddy. He met the former chief at his Begumpet residence and was there for over one hour. He is understood to have elicited information about the former's cabinet colleagues and their performances.
In this background, there was a brisk activity at the Kadapa MP YS Jaganmohan Reddy's residence where as many as 17 legislators made a beeline. Prominent among them were Jupudi Krishna Rao, Pilli Subhaschandra Bose, Balineni Srinivias Reddy, Ambati Rambabu, Konda Surekha and Jayasudha.
The strategy adopted by the Kadapa MP in view of the High Command's reported directive to marginalise his followers remains to be seen.
Meanwhile, intense lobbying has been going on from every Congress leader worth his salt to get included in the 'cabinet'. Who succeeds and who trails behind is a matter of time, but the suspense generates a lot of interest.
It is really surprising that we do not have a formal review system for the ministers. As far as the city of Hyderabad is concerned the most visible face of the Congress has been Sri Danam Nagender, The Minister for H&FW, as also MLA Khairatabad. Congress will need his services in the eventuality of a Seperate State formation. He is a votary of a seperate Hyderabad State which seems to be a mature idea suiting people of all regions.
