The Congress high command has served a show cause notice on the IT minister, Mr Komatireddy Venkat Reddy, for criticising the Chief Minister, Mr K. Rosaiah, and bringing disrepute to the party.
The AICC general secretary, Mr Janardhan Dwivedi, issued the notice and gave the minister a week’s time to reply.
Two MPs, one from Telangana region and one from elsewhere in AP, were also to be issued similar notices for violating party discipline and approaching the media, it was learnt late Friday night.
Mr Venkat Reddy had sharply criticised Mr Rosaiah before the media on Thursday and had accused him of acting like the Chief Minister of Andhra region.
Mr Venkat reddy has also angered the high command by refusing to withdraw his resignation unlike other ministers.
He also said that the Chief Minister’s comment on industries moving away from the state because of protests showed his bias against Telangana.
Other ministers too had objected to his remarks against the Chief Minister.
Mr Rosaiah had sent a report on the ‘intolerable’ behaviour of the minister to the high command and demanded that he be thrown out of the cabinet. However, the high command decided to serve a show cause notice for now.
Mr Venkat Reddy refused to comment on the show cause notice. “I dont know anything about it,” he told this correspondent.
