2 Telangana ministers go to Cabinet meet

All but two Telangana ministers, who resigned their posts on July 4, attended the cabinet meeting at chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy’s camp office on Tuesday evening. However, they reportedly remained silent when the chief minister requested them to resume their duties at Secretariat.
The two who stayed away were Komatireddy Venkata Reddy and P Shankar Rao. Infrastructure minister Komatireddy had recently declared that he would not resume his duties nor attend cabinet meetings till the Centre makes a favourable statement on the Telangana issue. Textiles minister P Shankar Rao stayed away because he has recently undergone cataract surgery.
The meeting, the first held in two months, was attended by 10 ministers from Telangana. At a media briefing held at Secretariat after the meeting, information and public relations minister D K Aruna evaded a query whether the Telangana ministers had received any assurance from the Centre on the Telangana issue.
The ministers had stopped attending their duties since the day they resigned to their MLA seats. Speaker Nadendla Manohar, however, rejected the resignations on grounds that they were submitted in an “emotionally surcharged atmosphere”.
