Serious business in the secretariat takes back seat

Uncertainty seems to loom large in the Congress circles with the High Command still keeping mum on the issue of leadership in the state of Andhra Pradesh. As a result, important matters pertaining to state administration are kept in abeyance. This is evident from the people visiting the state secretariat in the vain of hope of seeing their files move. The urgent files in the peshis of several ministers at the Secretariat are getting piled up and do not make any headway.

The ministers’ schedule during this week is read as follows. A handful of ministers are in their respective districts campaigning for Congress candidates in the ZPTC by-elections. As reported, the four women ministers - Sabitha Indra Reddy, Galla Aruna Kumari, Sunitha Lakshma Reddy and J. Geetha Reddy - on Tuesday paid their homage to YSR at his grave in Idupulapaya.

Even after ten days after being sworn in ministers for the second time, most of the ministers are keeping away from their offices. The absence of these ministers is felt even in the review meetings called in by the Chief Minister Rosaiah.

The rest of the ministers present are busy attending either condolence meetings in their districts or holding discussions with K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao, the close aide of the late YSR, at his residence to take stock of the latest developments in New Delhi.

To compound the problem further the Chief Ministers Office convened a meeting to endorse a new methodology to fill the vacant seats in the engineering colleges in the absence of Technical Education Minister M. Venkataramana Rao. Sources close to the minister reveal that the minister was very unhappy over convened meeting in his absence.
