Thanks to the communal riots in the Old City of Hyderabad. Much of the infighting among the Congress legislators for ministerial berths has gone into oblivion with the law and order situation taking top priority in the State.
The Cabinet expansion, which many legislators were looking forward to, may now be deferred due to the communal riots.
Chief Minister K Rosaiah speaking to the reporters after the Assembly was adjourned sine die on Tuesday said he had to postpone his trip to Delhi in the wake of the communal flare-up in the Capital.
“There is no hurry. I will go to Delhi after the law and order situation is restored in the Old City,” the CM observed.
This may be a disappointing news for many aspirants but it will be a blessing in disguise for others who can get some time for lobbying. On the other hand, it gave the CM an opportunity to assess the performance of some ministers.
