There is now a large-scale debate in the ruling YCP over ministerial posts – party responsibilities.At the same time, CM Jagan is focused on the 2024 elections.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Jagan’s close confidante, Minister Mekapati Gautam Reddy, who is a cabinet colleague, will not be replaced in the cabinet now.What is the priority of his family in the party-government? Now the same issue is causing debate in the party.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Jagan will tour Nellore district on Monday.He will attend The late Minister Mekapati Gautam Reddy memorial service at the VPR Convention Center in Nellore.
Gautam’s death was also mourned in the House during the Assembly budget meetings.The House declared a day off.Meanwhile, during the mourning ceremony, CM Jagan revealed key decisions.The Chief Minister announced that the Sangam Barrage would be completed soon and named after Gautam.Gautam’s father Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy said that Mekapati Engineering would be developed in memory of Gautam as requested.
Further, the Assembly notified that the Atmakuru Assembly seat already represented by Gautam became vacant with the death of Gautam.
A by-election is set to take place there in another five months.The by-election looks likely to be almost unanimous.
However, with the death of Gautam while continuing as a minister, a debate has started in the party as to whether he will be replaced by a member of the Mekapati family and whether the CM is thinking in that direction.If Gautam’s wife goes ahead in politics … there is a discussion in the party that there is a possibility of giving his wife a ministerial post in Gautam’s place.
Now, while attending the CM Gautam’s memorial service, there is a chance that this issue will be mentioned and clarified.It was only after CM Jagan discussed the issue with Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy that it seems likely that a decision will be taken on the equations of who should be allowed into the new cabinet in Nellore district.
