Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy has asked all ministers in the AP Cabinet to disclose their assets by the end of August this year. A circular to this effect was issued by the General Administration on Thursday.
The directive, in fact, is in line with Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh's instructions to his ministers to disclose their assets and to not be associated with any private business.
Amid cynicism about whether our MLAs are ever game to revealing their real net worth, School Education Minister Sailajanath has been the first to surprise all with his enthusiasm. Sailajanath has said he will declare his assets by the 15th of July itself.
Details will have to be furnished to the Speaker Nadendla Manohar. Legislators will also be asked to disclose their assets to the Speaker.
