When KTR will become CM is just a matter of time. But he is clearly the de facto chief minister going by the manner in which the ministerial aspirants are making a beeline before his office. Even those who served in the previous term of KCR are trying to win favour of KTR this time amid rumours that he will be playing greater role in the state politics as KCR will get himself busy on the national stage.
Already, KTR has taken over as the working president of Telangana Rashtra Samiti. The party MLAs and leaders have competed with one another to organise functions to felicitate him for several weeks. Now that the time for forming the Cabinet has come, the TRS leaders have become active and many have begun efforts to get the blessings of KCR.
In the past few days, KCR is busy visiting other states for getting support for his Federal Front which is aimed at bringing together regional parties against the Congress and the BJP. Now that KCR has returned and set about the task for selecting ministers, everybody is watching the moves of KTR more than his father. Party leaders say it is the feedback and decisions of KTR that will play a greater role in Cabinet formation. There is also talk KCR will prefer such a team of ministers who will have a good rapport with KTR this time.
