Hyderabad, Jan. 2: The minister for information technology, Mr Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, and minister for higher education, Mr D. Sreedhar Babu, on Saturday made it clear that they would take a final decision on their resignation after the all party meeting being organised by UPA government on January 5 in New Delhi.
Both the ministers who did not want to take back their resignation letters met the Chief Minister, Mr K.Rosaiah, and sought permission for the meeting of students in Osmania University on Sunday.
Mr Venkat Reddy’s meeting with the Chief Minister assumed significance in the wake of a showcause notice being issued by AICC over his remarks against Mr Rosaiah. Recently, Mr Venkat Reddy had alleged that Mr Rosaiah was acting like the Chief Minister of Andhra and suppressing the voice of Telangana people.
Mr Rosaiah took the comments seriously and took it to the notice of the high command.
“I will reply to the showcause notice on Sunday. I always respected the Chief Minister. My only aim was to convey the feelings of the 3.5 crore Telangana people,” Mr Venkat Reddy said. “I was issued showcause notice though my comments were reflecting the peoples’ mood. But many leaders from Andhra region targeted the home minister, Ms Sabita Indra Reddy, and alleged that she was favouring Telangana agitators. But no action was taken against them,” he added.
Meanwhile, several Telangana organisations criticised the Congress leadership for issuing showcause notice to Mr Venkat Reddy. They alleged that such disciplinary action was not initiated against Andhra leaders.
“The Vijayawada MP, Mr Lagadapati Rajagopal, launched agitation against Telangana. But no action was taken against him,” said Mr R. Damodar Reddy, Telangana political joint action committee leader.
