Twenty-four ministers handed of their resignations after a cupboard assembly, in step one in the direction of the massive do-over.

Just one or two ministers from the outgoing group are more likely to be retained, sources say. These ministers aren’t being axed as they’re the one members belonging to politically important communities that must be represented.
The brand new cupboard is more likely to have illustration from every of the newly-formed 26 districts of the state. Caste, area, faith, and gender will likely be factored in, as in June 2019, when Jagan Reddy took over as Chief Minister.
Mr Reddy had 5 Deputy Chief Ministers, one every from Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes, Backward Courses, Kapu caste and the Muslim minority group. There have been three ladies within the cupboard.
