HYDERABAD: The long wait of ‘Praja Rajyam’ legislators appears to be coming to an end finally with chief minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy left for Delhi on Wednesday evening to discuss with party high command the possible inclusion of two of them into his cabinet.Though Chiranjeevi, president of the now defunct PRP, has sought three berths, the Congress wanted the number pegged at two and has communicated its intention to him. Accordingly, Chiranjeevi is planning to let Anakapalle MLA Ganta Srinvasa Rao and MLC from Kadapa C Ramachandraiah be part of the cabinet. The exercise is expected to be completed before the end of this month.According to highly placed sources, as of now the party high command wants to keep the promise it has made to Chiranejevi that it would take a couple of his MLAs into the state cabinet, but when discussions take place today, Kiran Reddy might seek freedom to have a few inclusions and deletions.Sources said more than inclusions from the Congress, Kiran Kumar wants some ministers, who of late have become a headache for him, out of his cabinet.In this category fall textiles minister P Shankar Rao and transport minister Botcha Satyanarayana. During his Delhi tour, the chief minister is expected to meet AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad and if possible AICC president Sonia Gandhi.
