Andhra Pradesh Cabinet Dissolved as All Ministers Resign After CM Jagan Mohan Reddy Rejigs Team

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to undertake a major reshuffle in his cabinet. Keeping his promise to provide opportunities to new members, Jagan is likely to go for a completely new team this time. Ahead of the cabinet rejig, slated for April 11, all 24 ministers in the current cabinet will tender their resignations at a meeting with the chief minister today. The Cabinet took oath on June 8, 2019 and Reddy had promised to give chances to MLAs who could not find a place in his first cabinet. The new cabinet is likely to take oath on April 11.

The incumbent ministers put in their papers at the meeting of the Cabinet, which was their last, official sources said. They remained in their posts for exactly 34 months. While the reconstituted Cabinet will have new faces, at least four from the incumbent team may be re-inducted, according to PTI.

The chief minister had a meeting with Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan on Wednesday night, where the cabinet reorganisation was discussed, the sources added. Caste criteria are likely to play a key role in the formation of the new cabinet, they said.
