Pradesh Congress Committee president Botsa Satyanarayana, on Friday, condemned media reports that claimed that he was successful in preventing Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy from carrying out a full-fledged Cabinet expansion.
Talking to media persons at Gandhi Bhavan, Botsa advised the media to publish reports after collecting basic facts from the respective leaders instead of carrying false stories and losing credibility.
Botsa said that 2 Cabinet berths will be filled with Telangana MLAs during the next Cabinet expansion, which, he said, will be taken up soon.
He said that the Chief Minister would give all regions equal representation in the Cabinet, and that seniors would not be neglected while posts are allotted.
The PCC chief also said that Dr. P Shankar Rao, who was dropped from the Cabinet, would be accommodated in a suitable post in the party. (INN)
