Proportional Representation: The agreement stipulated that cabinet ministers from both regions should be appointed in a 60:40 ratio, favoring Andhra, reflecting the population distribution at the time. 2. Chief Minister and Deputy CM: It also established that if the Chief Minister was from one region, the Deputy Chief Minister should be from the other, promoting regional representation in governance. 3.
