letters to the Chief Minister.
Perni Venkatramaiah, the outgoing Information and Public Relations

jagan Mohan
reddy cabinet resigned. This reflects the Chief Minister's desire to strengthen the party's apparatus by delegating crucial duties to experienced leaders in order to position the
party for
victory in the 2024
assembly elections. All of the ministers have enthusiastically endorsed the Chief Minister's decision."
According to Venkatramaiah, the
chief minister made it clear when forming the
cabinet in
2019 that a new
cabinet will be formed after two and a half years. "In fact, the ministers were given some leeway," he explained. According to another outgoing
minister, Kodali Nani, the
chief minister intimated that some of the exiting ministers would be retained, while the
services of the others would be used for the party's benefit. The goal of the whole effort, according to
jagan Mohan
reddy, who is also the
ysr congress party (YSRCP) chairman, is to bring the
party back to power.
