Tirupati MLA K Chiranjeevi seems unhappy over getting only 2 Cabinet berths for his party.
In a press statement at the party office after felicitating Ganta Srinivasa Rao and C Ramachandraiah, who were inducted into the Cabinet earlier, Chiranjeevi expressed his thoughts that the Chief Minister should have inducted one more PRP MLA from the Telangana region.
However, he said that he would make all efforts to get one more Cabinet berth for the Telangana region.
Chiranjeevi admitted that he had expected 3 berths, and that now he has to make do with 2 berths. However, he denied reports that he tried to pressure the High Command into gaining more ministerial posts.
He described both Srinivasa Rao and Ramachandraiah as "highly efficient" and capable leaders, and expressed his belief that the Congress party will be strengthened with this move.
He said that he will follow the High Command's directions and make every effort to bring the Congress to power in the 2014 elections.
Chiranjeevi thanked all the Congress leaders for appointing Srinivasa Rao and Ramachandraiah for the ministerial posts. (INN)
