The First Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy ministry (or also known as 22nd ministry of Andhra Pradesh) of the state of Andhra Pradesh was formed on 14 May 2004 headed by Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy as the Chief Minister following the 2004 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly election.[1] 24 member ministry was formed on 22 May 2004.[2]

The council of ministry was initially formed with 25 members including the chief minister. Later expanded on 26 April 2007 with 17 members taking the total number of members in the council to 41.[3]

Background

Prior to 2004 Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections a pre-poll alliance was formed by the Indian National Congress, Telangana Rashtra Samithi, Communist Party of India and Communist Party of India (Marxist) to contest in the elections against the sole incumbent contender Telugu Desam Party.[4] The pre-poll alliance succeeded in forming a new government in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy formed a council of ministers consisting of 24 members initially and later expanding it twice once to induct the alliance partner TRS into the cabinet and several other members.[5] Pre-poll partner TRS joined the government with six ministers and quit the government later citing differences due to the Telangana issue with the Indian National Congress.[6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11]
