Revanth Reddy was scheduled to meet AICC president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday but it was postponed to Tuesday morning. On Monday, the Chief Minister met AICC general secretary (organisation) K.C. Venugopal for one hour. Party sources confirmed that the finalisation of the Cabinet portfolios is now expected to be decided during Revanth Reddy’s meeting with the Congress president.
The sources revealed that a consensus on the portfolio allocation was reached during the meeting between Revanth Reddy and Venugopal and it will receive the official sanction during his meeting with Kharge. As part of the reshuffle, the sources indicated that senior ministers,
who hold multiple portfolios, could be relieved of some of their responsibilities. For instance, Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, who currently handles the portfolios of finance and energy, may be relieved of his finance and energy responsibilities. He could be allotted the crucial home portfolio.
Revanth Reddy has also urged the party leadership to approve appointments for various state-run corporations to accommodate those left out in the cabinet expansion due to caste, political and regional considerations. All these matters are expected to be finalised in the crucial meeting with Kharge on Tuesday.
