Mr. N. Kiran Kumar Reddy C.M. of A.P. would visit New Delhi on 30th May to seek approval from Congress High Command for cabinet expansion. C.M. is going to Delhi to meet the officials of Planning Commission but he is expected to meet Ms. Sonia Gandhi and other leaders to consult about the structure of the A.P. Cabinet. The State is facing Assembly elections next year. It is essential to fillup the posts vacated by the two tainted ministers. It is also necessary to redistribute portfolis to the ministers. If Congress High Command gives its nod, cabinet expansion may take place in the first week of June before the next budget session of A.P. Assembly begin.
