For the first time in the Indian history a Cabinet will have five deputy Chief Ministers as Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has decided to appoint five deputy CMs, one each from SC, ST, BC, minority and Kapu communities.

Earlier, two deputy CMs, one each from BC and Kapu communities, served under Chandrababu Naidu chief ministership.

The YSRCP chief told the Legislature Party meeting that he will induct 25 ministers in the cabinet. He declared that half of them would be from SCs, STs, BCs and minorities.

The CM said that he would go for the reshuffling of the cabinet after two-and-half years. He asked party legislators to be careful in handling the peoples’ grievances as people are closely watching their performance.

Reddy took oath last week as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh as thousands of his supporters lustily cheered him. Governor ESL Narasimhan administered him the oath of office and secrecy at a public ceremony held at Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium here and attended by Telangana Chief Minister K. Chandrashekhar Rao and DMK leader M.K. Stalin.

The 46-year-old is the second Chief Minister of new Andhra Pradesh and succeeds N. Chandrababu Naidu, whose Telugu Desam Party (TDP) suffered the worst-ever defeat in the elections held last month.

Like YSR who became the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh for the first term in 2004, Jagan took the oath at a public ceremony and also signed the first file.

Jagan’s wife Y.S. Bharathi, daughters Y.S. Harshini Reddy and Y.S. Varsha Reddy, sister Y.S. Sharmila, brother-in-law Anil Kumar and other family members had attended the ceremony.
