Is there no dividing line between Telugu Desam Party and Andhra Pradesh government?

It appears to be at least for the State Information and Public Relations Department. Publicity cell of the department, which sends photos of events relating to the government and Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu’s review meetings, on Tuesday surprisingly mailed photo of Telangana Telugu Desam party leaders led by M. Narasimhulu submitting a memorandum to Governor E. S. L. Narasimhan at Raj Bhavan.

Mr. Narasimhulu said that they brought to the notice of the Governor that there was no representation to SCs and STs in the State Cabinet. He said that although SCs and STs comprised one crore and women comprised 50 per cent of the total population in Telangana, there was no representation for them in the Cabinet, reflecting the “feudal” attitude of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.

Earlier, Telangana TDP leaders met the Governor and appealed to him to advise the Telangana government not to shift the Secretariat and conduct elections to the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation. Led by TTDP president L. Ramana, they submitted a representation to this effect to Governor. Talking to reporters, Mr. Narasimhuu flayed Mr. Chandrasekhar Rao and accused him of being insensitive to the plight of farmers.
