Despite having a relatively clean image and being a non-controversial person, IT Minister Palle Raghunath Reddy has been booted out from the cabinet.
In 2014, after taking oath as Minister, Palle did something that horrified the Reddy community. He bent down and touched the feet of Chandrababu Naidu.
As one can see, such sycophancy proved to be of no avail in retaining his Ministry and he has been mercilessly shown the door to make way for the CM’s son. So, Palle is now neither here nor there.
His community is angry with him for his obsequious behaviour towards Chandrababu and today, Chandrababu has also shown him the door.
Interestingly, the signs of disenchantment with Palle were quite apparent in 2015 and 16 when ABN ran a series of negative stories on Palle saying that the latter was publicity crazy and not bothered about his poll promises.
Why doesn’t the same jaundiced channel talk about Chandrababu’s poll promises?
