Reacting seriously to the remarks of the Eluru congress MP Mr Kavuri Sambasiva rao that Telangana congress leaders are obsessed with political posts and can’t quit their posts, Endowments minister Jupalli Krishna Rao submitted his resignation to the chief minister Kirankumar reddy today, according to sources.

He is said to have asked the CM to forward his resignation to the party MP Sonia Gandhi in which he said they were not in a position to move in Telangana and urged her to take an immediate decision on the Telangana issue.

It may be mentioned that Kavuri Sambasiva rao criticised the Telangana JAC leaders for organizing an attack on his house by the lawyers and said it was not good for them to attack houses like that. “Telangana leaders should quit their posts to bring pressure on the high command to get Telangana. Why should they attack my house? Where is the necessity for that? They are sticking to their posts and organizing attacks on Seema Andhra leaders and it is not good for them to do so,” an angry Kavuri Sambasiva rao said.
 
Jupalli told media persons that he submitted his resignation letter taking the comments of Kavuri Sambasiva rao as a challenge. The chief minister is supposed to send the minster’s resignation letter to Sonia today, according to sources.
