Kiran Reddy isolated by cabinet colleagues of both regions

Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy was isolated not only by his cabinet colleagues in Telangana region, but also by the ministers of Seemandhra region.

The ‘deliberate’ absence of Tribal Welfare Minister P Balaraju for CM's  Rachchabanda programme on Friday, was another indicator that all's not well in the CM's camp.
Balaraju, who belongs to Visakhapatnam district, boycotted the CM meeting which was held in Chodavaram, located in Visakhapatnam itself. When reporters questioned Balaraju on his absence, he excused himself saying that he was not invited for the event and so was unaware about the location of the Rachabanda programme. 
Taking a serious note of this, another minister Kondru Murali said that he will take action against those officials who were responsible for not inviting Balaraju.
But, sources in CMO disputed Balaraju's claims. They said that the minister was informed of the CM’s tour much in advance.
Sources also said that Balaraju was being sidelined by the CM, who was giving ‘undue’ preference to his counterpart in the same district, Ganta Srinivasa Rao. Balaraju was reportedly hurt by CM’s attitude.
