All AP Ministers Told to Leave Their Mobiles Behind For Cabinet Meet

Doesn't Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu trust his own ministerial colleagues, some of them his long time camp followers who stayed through the thick and thin?

On Thursday, when the AP Cabinet meet, the ministers were asked to leave their mobile phones behind. The security personnel ensured that the ministers did not carry their cellphones into the meeting hall. They made sure the ministers deposited their cellphones.

Sources said Chandrababu has done this as he is worried about the repeated leakage of the decisions and discussions in the Cabinet. On many occasions, details of the cabinet meeting were leaked to the media.

This decision to stop the ministers from taking their cellphones inside shocked many senior leaders. In effect, Chandrababu had told them indirectly that they are not trust worthy.
