List eludes 11 Ministers

By Our Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD, MARCH 21. ELEVEN Ministers did not find mention in the first list of the 72 Telugu Desam Party candidates released by the party president, N. Chandrababu Naidu, on Sunday.

Expectedly, the list did not entirely cover any district fully though names of candidates from 21 districts were announced. Mr. Naidu said that he was yet to finalise the candidates from Anantapur and Kurnool as he could not hold consultations with district leaders.

However, the TDP president's action in withholding the names of Ministers has sent alarm bells ringing in their camps. TDP circles are agog about what their fate would be since there were seniors like B.V. Mohan Reddy, N. Md. Farooq and Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao.

The Ministers who do not figure in the first list are -- N. Md. Farooq, B.V. Mohan Reddy, K.E.Prabhakar (all Kurnool district), N.Kistappa (Anantapur), P.Ramasubba Reddy, S. Saraswathi (both Cuddapah), V.Sobhanadreeswar Rao, N. Narasimha Rao (both Krishna), Nerella Anajaneyulu (Nizamabad), P. Babu Mohan (Medak) and P.Bhumanna (Adilabad).
