All Andhra, Rayalseema cabinet ministers to quit


చెయ్యెత్తి జయకొట్టు తెలుగోడా ... వెలిగెత్తి చూపించు ఘన ఆంద్ర
పొట్టి శ్రీరాములు త్యాగఫలం వృధా కానివ్వం
"తెలుగు" వ్రాయటానికి మూడు అక్షరాలూ ... ప్రాంతాలు మూడు కాని ఒక రాష్ట్రం "ఆంధ్ర ప్రదేశ్"
Andhra Pradesh on Saturday plunged into an unprecedented political crisis with all the ministers from the Andhra and Rayalaseema regions deciding to resign to protest the Central Government's decision to grant separate statehood to Telangana.

At a meeting in Hyderabad, all 20 ministers from the two regions decided to submit their resignations to Chief Minister K Rosaiah.

Minister for Municipal Administration Anam Ramnarayana Reddy told reporters that they would meet Rosaiah to convey their decision and submit their resignations.

"There is pressure on us from the people to join the movement for a united Andhra Pradesh and hence we have decided to quit," he said amid the growing unrest in the two regions.

Three ministers later met the Chief Minister and conveyed their decision to him. Rosaiah, however, advised them against taking a decision in haste.
