Two Ministers, Two Cabinet Meetings, Two Decisions

Telangana CM KCR does what he wants. He does not baulk at criticism and is unmindful of snide comments. Even during his earlier stint. he showed this despotic streak. Now that he has a road roller majority, his confidence has gone up many fold and he is not worried about what others think. He is getting increasingly bolder when it comes to decision making.

Though it has been more than a month that he has been elected the CM, he has not bothered to constitute his cabinet. Except Mahmood Ali, there is no other minister in the cabinet. He doesn't even appear to be thinking on those lines. So, as of now, the Telangana Cabinet met twice. Both times, only he and Mahmood Ali attended the meet. Both the times, the cabinet took one each of key decisions. In the first meeting, the cabinet decided to have Stephenson as the Anglo Indian MLA.In the second meeting, the panchayat reservations have been made public. Even the tallest TRS leaders are without any portfolio. None is a minister. Except he, Mahmood Ali and party's newly appointed working president KTR, none else is of any consequence now.

If the reports we are hearing are right, then there may not be any cabinet expansion till the Lok Sabha elections are over.
