The newly formed Telangana state had started paying price for the Chief Minister Designate K Chandra Sekhar Rao’s arrogance. The state did not have any representation in the Modi’s cabinet. KCR had been trying to drift away from Narendra Modi since the election campaign for minority votes and alliance with MIM. He even used his usual foul language on Modi during the election campaign and as a result despite having significant number of MPs will not have a say in national politics.
On the other side, Seema Andhra has 2 cabinet rank ministers with Ashok Gajapathi Raju from TDP and Venkaiah Naidu (Born in Seema Andhra but Rajya Sabha MP from Karnataka). Nirmala Seetha Raman, wife of Parakala Prabhakar is inducted in to Cabinet. She lives in Hyderabad but given Parakala Prabhakar’s affiliation with Samayikya Andhra movement, Telangana people will not own her. She is also a Tamilian by birth. Interestingly, Bandaru Dattatreya who is said to be a must in the cabinet failed to get his name in the final list.
