Ticker: Cabinet mantra to stop T-turmoil?

The best way to silence the Telangana voice in the Congress party is to give those leaders some posts.

That is what Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy appears to have decided. When he brought to the notice of Sonia Gandhi that some senior leaders in the party are making hue and cry over Telangana, she reportedly asked him what he could do to silence them. YSR is understood to have suggested that it would be better, if these leaders are accommodated in the Cabinet, by expanding the same. He pointed out that the die-hard Telangana protagonists like Chinna Reddy and Jeevan Reddy have now gone silent after being taken into the Cabinet. He sought permission of the Madam to expand the Cabinet, so that he would give Cabinet berths to seniors like Purushottam Reddy, MSR and Amos to suppress their voice.

And he also gave an advice to Sonia: "Please take Venkatswamy also into the Union Cabinet. That would solve a major headache." What an idea!!
