Congress MLA lobbying for ministerial posts Telangana
Party insiders revealed that several MLAs and senior Congress leaders have been lobbying hard for inclusion in the next round of Cabinet expansions. Aspirants reportedly submitted:
- Caste and regional representation statistics
- Loyalty records to the Congress party
- Electoral performance and grassroots work reports
The demand for ministerial berths has intensified, especially after Telangana’s new Congress government took office in December 2023 under Chief Minister Revanth Reddy.
Internal Party Challenges
The Telangana Congress faces several internal challenges:
- Balancing regional, caste, and gender representation in Cabinet positions
- Addressing dissatisfaction among senior leaders excluded from the first round of appointments
- Managing factional rivalries within the state unit
Kharge’s intervention is seen as an effort to maintain unity ahead of upcoming local body elections and to strengthen the Congress’ hold on power in Telangana.
Telangana Cabinet expansion second phase updates
Political analysts believe:
- A second round of Cabinet expansions is imminent
- Fresh ministerial appointments will be made in consultation with the party high command
- Focus will remain on social justice, inclusivity, and performance-driven selections
Kharge’s meetings are expected to conclude with specific recommendations to CM Revanth Reddy regarding Cabinet reshuffles and appointments.
Mallikarjun Kharge’s Hyderabad visit marks a critical moment in Telangana’s evolving political landscape. With intense lobbying underway, all eyes are on the Congress leadership to see how they balance party interests, governance priorities, and public expectations.
