Roads and Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao today appeared before the CBI special court in connection with YSRCP president Jagan Mohan Reddy's disproportionate assets case.
His continuation in the cabinet has been a controversy, as his resignation was not accepted by the cabinet.
Though the the cabinet's refusal to accept his resignation was disapproved by Governor E S L Narasimhan, and the CBI submitted a Supreme Court verdict which allows the prosecution of Dharmana without taking permission from the cabinet, the minister has been attending official duties. (INN)
