Ministers from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions, including Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy, are likely to resign from their posts en masse as soon as the ongoing debate on the draft Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill-2013 concludes.
State Social Welfare Minister Pitani Satyanarayana told reporters on Saturday: “We are not going to hang on to our posts. As soon as the debate (on the draft bill) concludes, we are ready to quit our posts in Legislature any moment,” the minister said.
“The Chief Minister is also likely to step down from the post,” Pitani, who is considered close to Kiran, said.
