Ministers of the state cabinet on Thursday offered their total support to the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah.Mr Rosaiah, who addressed his first full fledged cabinet meeting after the death of Dr Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy, sought the cooperation of all the ministers to provide a strong and vibrant administration and to attend to public issues on priority.“I need the cooperation of all of you as long as I am in the seat,” he said. “We are passing through difficult times. Unless everyone extends cooperation, it will be difficult for me to carry on with the work.”
A minister who attended the meeting said Mr Rosaiah had pointed out that he had become Chief Minister only on the directions of the high command and pointed out that the ministers should cooperate with him to fight the financial crunch, swine flu, and price rise. “I have no coterie,” he reminded them.
All the ministers promised to work in tandem with him. Earlier, many of them had kept away from the review meetings called by the Chief Minister, leaving him in a piquant situation. Following intervention by the high command, the ministers have fallen in line.
“We have made it clear to the Chief Minister that we have no ill will towards him,” a minister told this correspondent. “Though we had a desire to see Jagan Mohan Reddy as Chief Minister, the decision is now left to party high command.”It is learnt that the municipal administration minister, Mr Ramnarayan Reddy, lost his cool when the Chief Minister cut him short on the issue of hike in rice quota.
Mr Ramnarayan Reddy said the Chief Minister should listen to him though the final decision was his.
