The Telangana Congress is discussing whether to give new party jobs to Konda Surekha and her husband.
Some people supporting Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy do not want this to happen right away.
They worry it could look like Revanth Reddy’s group has been weakened.
The party’s high command is considering the idea to reduce disagreements inside the party.
Surekha said the proposal was being discussed.
She was removed from the State Cabinet after controversial remarks by her daughter about the Chief Minister.
The party is also discussing many other organisational appointments in Telangana.
Leaders may make a final decision after the Ganesh festival celebrations.
