Focus on Home Department Allocation
One of the most anticipated decisions in this meeting was regarding the Home Department, which has remained with the Chief Minister since the Congress government assumed office. Sources within the party suggest that the issue has now taken centre stage, and the portfolio is likely to be reallocated.
Bhatti Vikramarka in Contention for Home Portfolio
Amid internal discussions, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka has emerged as a frontrunner for the home portfolio. Party insiders say that the leadership is seriously considering assigning the crucial department to him, a move that could balance power within the cabinet and reinforce the Deputy CM’s stature in the government.

Cabinet Reshuffle on the Cards
The meeting between Revanth Reddy and Kharge is also expected to lead to a broader reshuffling or redistribution of portfolios to streamline governance and align with party expectations. Some ministers are said to have expressed dissatisfaction over existing assignments, prompting the high command to step in.
Political Implications of the Home Department Shift
If the Home Department is handed over to Bhatti Vikramarka or another senior minister, it would mark a significant shift in the state’s power dynamics. The portfolio holds strategic importance, overseeing law and order, police administration, and internal security.
Party observers believe that this decision could also help address regional and factional equations within the Telangana Congress, particularly in light of upcoming local body elections and political realignments.
Final Decision Awaited
While no official announcement has been made yet, sources indicate that a final decision is expected soon following internal consultations. The Congress high command is likely to weigh the political impact, administrative capacity, and regional balance before making the final call.
