Background

The 1999 Andhra Pradesh legislative assembly elections were swept by the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). The TDP bagged 180 seats in the election and formed the government. N. Chandrababu Naidu incumbent chief minister of United Andhra Pradesh continued to be the chief minister for the second term.[3] The Second N. Chandrababu Naidu Ministry was initially constituted with a nine member council consisting of the chief minister and other eight ministers on 11 October 1999 with a formal oath taking ceremony at the Raj Bhavan, Hyderabad constituted by the then Governor C Rangarajan. The eight ministers constituted a combination of seven cabinet rank ministers and one minister of state. The cabinet was expanded by inducting twenty six new ministers, Increasing the strength of the cabinet to thirty five. Besides the chief minister, the council consisted of twenty six cabinet ministers and eight ministers of state on 22 October 1999.[4] Later with the assassination of the incumbent cabinet rank minister Alimineti Madhava Reddy on 7 March 2000, his wife Uma Madhava Reddy was inducted into the cabinet to substitute the vacant ministry post on 6 November 2000.[5]
