Surekha attacks Revanth, seeks continuation in Cabinet

A recommendation to this effect has been made to Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla, a CMO release said.

Surekha, state Forest and Endowments Minister, has been in the eye of a storm following the critical remarks made by her daughter against the chief minister and other party leaders, drawing sharp responses from the ruling party MLAs and functionaries.

Besides sacking Surekha, the chief minister also rescinded the appointment of G Chinna Reddy as Vice Chairman of State Planning Board with immediate effect.

The developments came following confabulations held by CM Revanth Reddy, his deputy Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka and state Congress president B Mahesh Kumar Goud with AICC leaders, including party president Mallikarjun Kharge and KC Venugopal, in Delhi during the last few days.
