The stage is set for the swearing in of members of the reorganised Cabinet by Governor Biswa Bhusan Harichandan at the Secretariat at 11.31 a.m. on April 11, even as the speculation on who the new Ministers will be and what are the political equations that went into the exercise continued till the eleventh hour.
The swearing-in function will be followed by a high-tea hosted by Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy at 1 p.m.
Coming to the composition of the Cabinet, Mr. Jagan had been holding prolonged discussions with the government adviser (public affairs) Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy and some other close confidantes ever since 24 Ministers tendered their resignations on April 7 to facilitate the induction of new ones.
