11.41 am, Monday... That's going to be the D Day in Andhra Pradesh. That will be the time when YS Jagan's new council of ministers would be sworn in. The list of the new ministers has already been drawn up after hectic consultations between YS Jagan and his advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy.
The list, sources say, is now contained in a sealed cover which has already been forwarded to Governor Biswabhushan Harichandan. Along with it, the list of resignations by the minister have already been dispatched to the Governor on Saturday night. The governor will accept the resignation and is likely to give his assent to the new list of ministers by Sunday afternoon. If sources are to be believed, the names of the new ministers would be out by Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, arrangements are being made for the swearing in of the new ministers at the secretariat. Sources said that covid restrictions are being followed in toto at the swearing in. Important officers have been sent invitations to attend the programme. The number of those attending the programme has been kept to a minimum in view of the covid restrictions.
Meanwhile, the outgoing ministers have expressed their loyalty to the party and have said that ministry or no ministry, they would continue to work for the party and the people. They said that their loyalty to the party is non-negotiable. If sources are to be believed, at least 10 ministers would be continued in the new cabinet too
