The retention of Deputy Chief Minister K. Narayanaswamy and induction of Nagari MLA R.K. Roja into the Cabinet as a first timer, came as a big surprise on Sunday evening.
The two leaders would share the Cabinet space with Chittoor district strongman Peddireddi Ramachandra Reddy, who alone was earlier projected as the possible leader to be inducted into the Cabinet from the district.
Interestingly, all the three leaders hail from the truncated Chittoor district, which now has seven Assembly constituencies, including the one represented by TDP national president N. Chandrababu Naidu (Kuppam).
