The political watchers of Andhra Pradesh agency area politics feel that the time has now come for senior tribal politician from Parvathipuram in North Andhra Peedika Rajanna Dora to become a minister. Though his name contains the word Raju meaning king and Dora, meaning chieftain,he could never become a minister so far.
He has been a four-time MLA but ministerial position has always eluded him. But,Rajanna Dora never made bones about it. He has been steadfastly loyal to the late YSR and has become an MLA only because of YSR's support. He has also kept close touch with the voters of his constituency all these years, due to which he is quite popular.
Highly placed sources in the YSRCP say that Rajanna Dora could become a minister in the latest reshuffle as party's stalwart Botsa Satyanarayana is practically out of the scene. Rajanna always preferred to play second fiddle to Botsa. But, now he could be brought to the fore and be made a minister. Party sources also estimate that Jagan could even make him the deputy CM in the tribal quota.
Already, his supporters have reportedly begun celebrating. They feel that a ministerial position would be a reward and a recognition for his loyalty to the party and the leader and also his honesty which has endeared him to the voters of his constituency. If all goes well, he is all set to become a minister on April 11.
