KCR may announce Telangana cabinet this week
Live MintHyderabad: Telangana chief minister K. Chandrashekar Rao is likely to announce his cabinet by the end of this month, nearly three weeks after winning the assembly elections with a thumping majority. Rao, who heads the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, is a staunch believer in astrology and thus the announcement was kept at bay as there are only two auspicious days for the task, said senior TRS leaders. The TRS won 88 of the 119 seats in the just-concluded assembly elections, decimating the Congress-led grand alliance of the Telugu Desam Party, Communist Party of India, and the Telangana Jana Samithi. “There will definitely be new faces in this cabinet, but some of the senior leaders such as Eatala Rajender and T. Harish Rao are likely to be reinducted.
