Here's why Andhra Pradesh CM Jagan Mohan Reddy's 25 ministers cabinet is termed as 'socially-inclusive' by YSR Congress party

After inducting 5 deputy chief minister and 25 new ministers in his cabinet, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy-led YSR Congress party called the Andhra assembly cabinet a "socially-inclusive Cabinet." 

In line with his electoral promise, Jaganmohan Reddy gave Cabinet berths to seven legislators from the backward classes, five from the Scheduled Castes, one each from the Scheduled Tribes and Muslims, and four each from the Kapu and the Reddy communities. The Kamma community, which dominated the previous Chandrababu Naidu Cabinet, got just one berth. The Kshatriya and the Vysya communities also got one berth each.

State Governor E S L Narasimhan administered the oath of office and secrecy to the new ministers at a glittering public function adjacent to the Secretariat at Velagapudi in capital Amaravati.

Chief Minister Jagan Reddy wished good luck to his ministers after they took the oath.
