AP CM Chandra Babu Naidu is all set to induct his son Lokesh into his cabinet. Now speculation is increasing whether Chandra Babu will stop by inducting Lokesh into the cabinet or reshuffle or expand his cabinet.
This is giving sleepless nights to many ministers. Even mere induction of Lokesh into the cabinet is worrying many cabinet ministers as speculation is on whose portfolios Chandra Babu will snatch and allocate it to Lokesh.
It is known that in Telangana CM KCR's son KTR is handling IT and other portfolios. Lokesh is keen to compete with KTR and Chandra Babu too loves IT sector. So inside talk is Chandra Babu may snatch IT portfolio from Minister Palle Raghunadha Reddy who is also handling Communications.
Rumours are spreading that Chandra Babu is inducting Lokesh into the cabinet as pressures from family is increasing with each passing day. Family members are also pressurising him to allocate portfolios smilar to how KCR allocated to his son KTR.
In that case, Lokesh may also get Municipal Administration and also Industries, the portfolios and he will handle portfolios similar to KTR.
Speculation is on that Chandra Babu may show door to some ministers. CBN is unhappy with some ministers and Ravela Kishore Babu, Peetala Sujatha, Ayyana Patrudu are in the list. Lokesh is advocating induction of young blood and so if that turns reality, CBN may induct Payyavula Keshav who lost elections but entered legislative council through backdoor, Somireddy Chandra Mohan Reddy. Gali Muddukrishnama Naidu's name too is cropping up.
Chandra Babu may induct leaders Bhoomana Karunakara Reddy and others whom he lured from YSRCP showing cabinet posts.
