Demoted Jaipal Reddy sulks, refuses to take charge

October 29, 2012 12:01

Our sources tell us that former petroleum minister Jaipal Reddy is sulking. He has blamed his demotion to a business house and may not assume office. Reddy was expected to take up his new assignment at the science and technology ministry on Monday. The move to the relatively obscure ministry from the high-profile charge of petroleum is widely seen as a demotion.

His supporters are to gather in Hyderabad on Sunday. The question being asked is whether Jaipal Reddy will now join the Telangana brigade?
