Despite Chandrababu’s Phone Call, Chinarajappa Is Still Sulking

Upset at being ignored at official outings, Andhra Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister and Home MinisterNimmakayala Chinarajappa is still sulking. Even after Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu personally spoke to him, the Kapu leader is still upset and angry.

On coming to know about Home Minister's sulk, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu called him on Thursday evening and tried to pacify him. He also severely repremanded the officials for ignoring the Minister. He reportedly told Chinarajappa to be firm while dealing with the officials. After CM's reaction, some forensic officials on Friday went to Chinarajappa and apologised about the gaffe on Thursday.

Chinarajappa skipped the stone-laying ceremony of the AP Forensic Lab at Amaravati on Thursday after he was shabbily treated by the officials. The officials had sent an invitation with a constable and no official had bothered to meet him in person.

Upset at this breach of protocol, Chinarajappa skipped the meeting.

It may be recalled that the Home Minister was unhappy for quite sometime over the officials ignoring him. But, never made it an issue. On Thursday, the function was organised by his own department. Yet, he was ignored.
