Congress MLA Komatireddy Raj Gopal Reddy today said that there would be an expansion of the Cabinet after the ongoing Assembly sessions.
In an informal chat with media persons on the premises of the Assembly, Reddy also said that he had been promised by the Congress leadership that an opportunity would be given to him in the Cabinet.
"I strongly desire the portfolio of the Home department. I came back to the Congress aiming to defeat the BRS in the Assembly elections. That goal has been achieved. If I am the Home Minister, then the BRS leaders will be kept in control. A majority of the BRS leaders, including KCR, KTR, Harish Rao, Kavitha, Santhosh Rao and Jagadish Reddy are sure to go to jail," the Munugode MLA said.
He also said that his family members were not asking the Congress high command for tickets to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections.
"My brother is a minister and I am an MLA. If another person from our family contests, it will send a wrong signal to the people. So we don't want to contest the Lok Sabha elections. However, if the Congress high command orders any of our family members to contest, we will definitely think over it," Reddy said.
