MSR resigns, feels morally responsible

Special Correspondent

HYDERABAD: Minister for Sports M. Satyanarayana Rao, whose challenge to TRS president K. Chandrasekhar Rao resulted in the byelection to Karimnagar, tendered his resignation to Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy on Thursday owning moral responsibility for the Congress party's defeat.

In a letter addressed to Dr. Reddy, Mr. Rao said that he had no right to continue in the Cabinet after the defeat of the Congress candidate. The Chief Minister, however, refused to comment on it except for admitting that he received the letter.

Before the election, Mr. Satyanarayana Rao had challenged the TRS chief that he would quit politics if proved wrong on the strength of Telangana sentiment in the region.

The TRS chief had made Telangana sentiment his main plank in the campaign to the bypoll.

The Minister also landed in a controversy by picking up a row with a TRS leader during his campaign for his party that reportedly fuelled the sentiment further.
