Hyderabad: Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy on Sunday expanded his Cabinet by inducting three ministers.
G Vivek Venkataswamy, Adluri Laxman Kumar and Vakiti Srihari were sworn in as ministers by Governor Jishnu Dev Varma at Raj Bhavan.
Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, his Cabinet colleagues, Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee (TPCC) president Mahesh Kumar Goud, and senior officials attended the ceremony.
Vivek took oath in English while the remaining two were sworn in Telugu.
This is the first expansion in the Cabinet, which was formed on December 7, 2023, with the swearing-in of the Chief Minister and 11 ministers.
The long-delayed expansion took place after the All India Congress Committee (AICC) cleared the names of three ministers.
Though there are vacancies in the Cabinet, the party leadership decided to keep three posts vacant. The state can have a maximum of 18 ministers, including the Chief Minister.
