Roads and Buildings Minister B Dharmana Prasada Rao on Wednesday appeared before the CBI court in connection with the VANPIC case.
Though Dharmana had resigned from the cabinet after being named in the charge-sheet, the government did not accept his papers, and the cabinet had taken the decision not to prosecute him. The cabinet decision was, however, sent back by Governor E S L Narasimhan for reconsideration, and the minister has been attending duties. (INN)
