In a minor reorganisation, two MLAs were inducted into the Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's Council of Ministers here on Wednesday to fill as many vacant slots. Governor Biswabhusan Harichandan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers, Ch Srinivasa Venugopala Krishna and Seediri Appala Raju, at a brief function in the Raj Bhavan in Vijayawada.
The two slots in the Cabinet fell vacant after Deputy Chief Minister (Revenue) Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose and Minister Mopidevi Venkata Ramana Rao resigned from their posts upon their election to the Rajya Sabha.
