Will Sattupalli MLA Sandra Venkata Veeraiah be made a minister in the TRS government? If TRS sources are to be believed, Sandra, who is a four-time MLA and has won even during the toughest of the times, richly deserves a ministry in KCR cabinet.
But, he was given a task by none other than KCR himself. The task is to completely decimate the TDP. He was tasked with merging the TDP into the TRS and ensures that the TDP becomes a history in Telangana. In 2014, there were 15 TDP MLAs. Though many joined the TRS, Sandra and some others refused to join the party. In 2018, Sandra and another MLA had again won as a TDP candidate. Soon after elections, he had joined the TRS. Now he has brought around the only remaining MLA and both have given a letter merging the TDP in Telangana into the TRS.
Sources say that KCR has promised to make him a minister if he merges the TDP into the ruling party. Now that the task has been completed, he may soon be made a minister in the next reshuffle, say those in the know.
