Hyderabad. December 07: Information & Public Relations and Tourism Minister J Geetha Reddy has been appointred floor leader of the Congress party in the Legislative Assembly. Chief Minister K Rosaiah sent a letter to this effect to Speaker N Kiran Kumar Reddy today.
Though Rosaiah was elected leader of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) he cannot be the flood leader in the Assembly as he happens to be a member of the Legislative Council.
Hence the arragement. This is for the first time that a chief minister is not the floor leader of a ruling party in the Legislative Assembly.
