Not upset to be technology minister, insists Reddy

October 29, 2012 17:44

K Jaipal Reddy addresses a press conference as he assumes office as the science and technology minister. Trashing reports that he was upset over the transfer from the critical petroleum minister to the relatively obscure S&T ministry, Reddy says he is excited about his new assignment. "Science and Technology is a key ministry. I'm not an officer that I have to handover charge. When I took over the petroleum ministry, I did not take over responsibility from Murli Deora. I want to say again that I am not upset.

"I am a truthful minister and I have no regrets, but I do not want to comment on my earlier portfolio," said Reddy.
