The ministers submit their resignation letters to the Governor, saying that they can participate in the Samaikyandra agitation only if their resignations are accepted.
State ministers Ganta Srinivas Rao and Erasu Pratap Reddy called on Governor E S L Narasimhan at Raj Bhavan on Monday, to submit their resignations from the cabinet.
Speaking to reporters later on, Ganta said that the Governor assured them that their resignation letters would be forwarded to the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy again. He said, "If the resignation gets accepted, I can participate in the Samaikyandhra agitation. It would be immoral and inappropriate to participate in protests while still holding a place in the office."
Erasu echoed Ganta and said that he would join the agitation immediately after the acceptance of his resignation from the cabinet. (INN)
