Cabinet and TPCC revamp on cards for Telangana Congress
The Congress party in Telangana is getting ready to give out many new jobs.
A big group called the All India Congress Committee will choose who gets these jobs soon.
Some leaders will get important jobs in the state government.
Others will get important jobs inside the political party itself.
A leader named Komatireddy Rajgopal Reddy might join the state Cabinet, which is a group of ministers who help run the state.
Leaders from Rangareddy district are asking for a minister too.
One leader from that area might become the head of the state road transport corporation.
A woman leader named Padmavathi Reddy might become a working president of the party.
The party also wants leaders from different communities to have important roles.
The AICC is expected to announce a fresh round of key organisational and nominated appointments for Telangana in the coming days, party sources said.
