HYDERABAD: Chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy in an informal chat with reporters on Monday hinted at the possibility of a cabinet expansion and reshuffle and filling of nominated posts after the budget session of the assembly.
At present there are four vacancies in the state cabinet. With the formal merger of the PRP with Congress, three from that party may be accommodated in the cabinet. The possibility of changing portfolios of some ministers is also not ruled out as they had openly expressed their unhappiness when the Kiran cabinet was formed on December 1.
Replying to a question about the new practice of writing series of letters adopted by transport minister Botsa Satyanarayana, the chief minister defended saying that there was nothing wrong in it since he was offering some good suggestions.
Asked about the likely date by which a delegation of ministers from Telangana would be sent to meet Sonia Gandhi to press their demand for a separate Telangana, the chief minister said, "I hope they will get an appointment soon."
