Provocateur from opposition
A former BRS minister is said to be in constant touch with a Congress MLA, ruffling a few feathers in the ruling party. The former has reportedly shared several issues, including those related to clearing of files without the legislator’s knowledge, with the MLA, leading to the latter getting upset by the practice. But what rankled the grand old party leaders most was the legislator, in turn, sharing the “internal matters” with the former minister. The ruling party leaders, including chief minister and TPCC president believed to have taken a serious view of the former minister provoking the MLA to work against to the ruling party. Interestingly, the said MLA has hopes of finding a berth in the state Cabinet when the chief minister prefers to expand it.

When the minister got to know about this, he hit the roof and the official concerned has gone on leave.
