AMARAVATI: Chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to appoint some outgoing ministers as chairpersons of district and regional development boards. They will be granted cabinet rank status and will enjoy other protocols. The chief minister is also likely to retain around 6 to 8 ministers from the incumbent team.
Initially, Jagan wanted to retain 3-4 ministers keeping in view the sociological equations in different districts. However, after going through a careful examination of sociological and political equations, he is believed to be thinking of continuing with at least 6 to 8 ministers of the outgoing cabinet.
