Background

The first cabinet of the newly formed Indian state Telangana after bifurcating from the United Andhra Pradesh was formed on 2 June 2014. A 11 member cabinet was constituted initially by K. Chandrashekar Rao the elected chief minister in the 2014 Telangana Legislative Assembly election.[2] On 16 December 2014 the cabinet was further expanded with inducting 6 members.[3] On 25 June 2015 the then incumbent deputy chief minister and health minister T. Rajaiah was sacked from the council citing his charges of corruption in the medial and health department and indicating his involvement or ‘tacit ignorance’ of illegal actions in the department along with his incapability in handling the swine flu in the state. Kadiyam Srihari the member of parliament was then inducted into the council appointing him as the deputy chief minister and handing him over the duties of the education ministry.[4] Along with this there was a minor cabinet reshuffling involving the transfer of ministries between C. Laxma Reddy and Guntakandla Jagadish Reddy.[5] [6]
