If latest reports are to be believed, Andhra Pradesh’s Minister for
Higher Education Ganta Srinivasa Rao is reportedly very much upset with
his boss and CM Chandrababu Naidu. This is for deliberately ignoring
him in Visakhapatnam region’s politics.
There
is also a possibility that Naidu might be dropping Ganta from the State
Cabinet during the forthcoming reshuffle. Sources say Babu also recently
turned down the request made by Ganta for appointing his man, Prof
Narayana as the Vice Chancellor for Andhra University.
Ganta
hoped that the Chief Minister should be considering his request because
he enjoys every right to recommend the candidates for VC post in his
capacity as Higher Education Minister. But Babu told him that VC post is
not any political appointment and according to norms, a person with
good academic calibre needs to be given the post.
Babu
is also not happy with him for hobnobbing too much with megastar
Chiranjeevi at Sarrainodu’s audio function. The CM feels something is
again cooking up between Ganta and Chiranjeevi politically and suspects
he may jump fence again in next 2 years!
