Hyderabad, April 07, 2022: Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday dissolved the state cabinet ahead of a major reshuffle. All 24 members have tendered their resignations.
This comes after the chief minister met Governor Biswabhusan Harichandran at the Raj Bhawan on Wednesday. The chief minister will submit the list of new ministers to Governor on April 8.
The new council of ministers will be inducted on April 11.
When Jagan Reddy took over as chief minister on May 30, 2019, he announced that he would undertake a complete overhaul of his cabinet after two and a half years and take in a new team. The cabinet revamp was scheduled for December 2021, but was postponed due to Covid.
The current Cabinet was sworn in on June 8, 2019 after Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) formed the government winning 151 seats in the 175-member Assembly.
