Denied ministry, senior north Andhra MLAs unhappy

Deccan Chronicle  

Visakhapatnam: In a surprising move, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has taken only four ministers from the north Andhra region into his ministry – Srikakulam’s Kinjarapu Atchennaidu, Vizianagaram’s Kondapalli Srinivas, Manyam’s Gummadi Sandhya Rani, who belongs to the ST community, and Anita, the youngest candidate, who belongs to the SC community. Despite 13 alliance candidates winning from the combined Visakhapatnam district, only Anita has been lucky enough to be in the AP cabinet. Another senior leader, former minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao of Visakhapatnam, is disappointed over not being made a minister. In Chipurupalle of Vizianagaram district, Kimidi Kala Venkata Rao defeated Botsa Satyanarayana.
