The dalit and BC ministers in Jagan Cabinet are now a greatly worried lot. Are they under constant surveillance? Is their every movement being closely monitored? These fears are increasing among the weaker sections ministers as CM Jaganmohan Reddy is getting greater grip over the administration. One incident especially added to the concerns among the non-Reddy ministers.
Initially, Nellore BC leader and Irrigation Minister Anil Kumar Yadav was given lot of prominence. But suddenly, Jagan and his Reddy coterie began downgrading his importance. As a result, Anil did not accompany Jagan during his visit to Delhi where Polavaram project figured prominently in the discussions with PM Modi. A closer look revealed that the Nellore Reddy lobby is behind this. They told Jagan how Anil made indecent comments against their caste just because they caused his defeat in the past.
After this, Anil is being slowly sidelined. He is not even being involved in major decisions in the ministry. Rumour is that already a young Reddy MLA from Rayalaseema is made Shadow Irrigation Minister to counter Anil Yadav who is maintaining a low profile now.
