It was a bag of mixed fortunes for the YSR Congress Party MLAs who aspired for berths in the revamped Cabinet of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Gloom and despair were writ large on the faces of the followers of senior party leader Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, as the Chief Minister chose not to retain him in the new Cabinet, which would be sworn in on Monday.
Supporters of Mr. Srinivasa Reddy insisted that he be continued as Minister, as he had sailed with Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy during trying times.
