A petition has been filed in the High Court, demanding that Roads & Buildings Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao be removed from the cabinet.
Objecting to the continuance of Prasada Rao in the cabinet, O M Debara, a resident of Hyderabad, opined that Dharmana has no right to his post, especially when the others indicted in the VANPIC case, including Jagan Mohan Reddy, Nimmagadda Prasad, Mopidevi Venkata Ramana and others, have been in prison since the CBI filed a charge-sheet in the case in August 2012.
Stating that Dharmana continuing to be a minister is against the government's business laws, the petitioner requested that the High Court invoke the writ of quo warranto, and have Dharmana removed from the cabinet.
