LDALL TELANGANA 2

The ministers, under immense pressure from their
constituents following the Centre's decision to bifurcate
Andhra Pradesh, met in a star hotel here this afternoon and
decided to put in their papers.
"We have decided to resign from our posts. We have
asked three of our colleagues -- Dharmana Prasada Rao, Gade
Venkata Reddy and C Silpa Mohan Reddy -- to communicate our
decision to Chief Minister K Rosaiah," state Municipal
Administration Minister Aanam Ramanarayana Reddy told
newspersons after the meeting.
Immediately, Dharmana, Gade and Silpa Mohan rushed to
the Secretariat to meet the Chief Minister.
After their meeting, however, the ministers maintained
that they had not taken up the resignation issue with Rosaiah
yet. "We will meet him later in the evening and discuss the
issue," Dharmana and Gade told reporters.
The Chief Minister, meanwhile, refused to speak to the
media and left for home. (More) PTI
