Telangana News: Telangana Cabinet: KCR Grabs Harish Seat?

With K.T. Rama Rao being sworn-in as the Working President of the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), the path to the helm has been cleared by his father and Telangana CM K. Chandrasekhar Rao. These indications may definitely have an impact on KCR's Cabinet as it will have KTR's chosen candidates, say TRS sources.

According to inside reports, K. Chandrasekhar Rao's meetings on irrigation projects and Mission Bhagiratha, soon after his swearing-in, have happened without Harish Rao, who was Irrigation Minister of Telangana in KCR's former Cabinet. Harish Rao has been widely appreciated for his ardent work on Telangana's irrigation projects and has extensive knowledge of these projects. The meeting without Harish Rao has raised several eyebrows.

TRS sources say that KCR is keen on retaining the irrigation portfolio while the Cabinet may be chosen by KCR's son, KTR. Additionally, KCR's visit to Kaleswaram on Tuesday which was canceled due to bad weather also did not include Harish Rao. Inside reports indicate that there is growing unrest among Harish Rao's followers as he is being sidelined by KCR's family. While they are just watching the developments taking place in the state after elections, even Harish Rao seems to have stunned by these happenings.

With such a treatment of Harish Rao by KCR's family, his followers are already crying foul over their leader getting a raw deal despite being the one with a huge following. These developments may prove costly for the TRS if Harish Rao chooses to part ways with his uncle. Only time will tell the consequences of this tale!
