Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has got supporters in the form of Chief Whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy on the DL Ravindra Reddy issue.
The Chief Whip told reporters that it was not fair on part of DL Ravindra Reddy to criticize Chief Minister openly on the government schemes.
“He should have discussed it at an appropriate forum instead of rushing to the press. I believe that Chief Minister has sacked him only for that reason,” he said.
P Sudhakar Reddy told reporters at Delhi that it is the prerogative of the Chief Minister to select his cabinet. He can drop or induct anyone he wants to.
Speaking on the DL Ravindra Reddy issue, he said, “Chief Minister has the right to shuffle the cabinet.” (INN)
