Speculation rife over Nagababu’s portfolio

Political activity in Andhra Pradesh is buzzing with discussions about the likely inclusion of Konidela Nagababu, the brother of Jana Sena leader and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, in the State Cabinet. Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has confirmed that Nagababu will be appointed as a Cabinet Minister, though the specific ministry he will be assigned remains a topic of speculation.
CM Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan on Monday held an important meeting to discuss Nagababu’s ministerial post, along with other decisions regarding the filling of nominated positions in the Cabinet. The Andhra Pradesh Cabinet currently has 24 ministers, and with room for one more position, many believe Nagababu will occupy it. The decision to include him in the Cabinet was reportedly made at the request of his brother, Pawan Kalyan.
There is growing curiosity, both in political and film circles, about which ministry Nagababu will take on.
One possibility being discussed is the Ministry of Cinematography, currently held by Jana Sena’s Kandula Durgesh. Durgesh also oversees the ministries of Tourism and Cultural Affairs, and some reports suggest Nagababu may take charge of the Cinematography portfolio, leaving Durgesh with the other two ministries.
As of now, the details of the discussions between CM Naidu and Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, including the final allocation of ministries, are still under wraps. An official announcement is expected soon, and the political landscape in the State eagerly awaits clarity on Nagababu’s new role in the Cabinet.
