The makeover was expected as Jagan Reddy had said he would go in for an entirely new team halfway through his term. That was to happen in December 2021 but had to be postponed due to Covid.

The Chief Minister met with Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan yesterday evening and reportedly informed him that he will overhaul his cabinet.

Sources said just a couple of the resigned ministers are likely to be picked up again in the new team of Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Jagan Mohan Reddy is said to have narrowed down on the leaders who would be inducted into the Cabinet but the names would be announced in the last minute.

Denouncing some of the opposition parties as “gang of thieves”, Jagan also said his government is committed to disbursing Rs 55,000 crore under various welfare schemes during the current year.

Speaking at a felicitation programme of village and ward volunteers, at Narsaraopet in Palnadu district, Reddy alleged that the opposition parties have neglected people during their regime.
