Visakhapatnam: It has been reported that over the last four days Andhra Pradesh HRD minister Ganta Srinivasa Rao has been openly expressing his displeasure over the way TDP leadership was treating him. With state chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu's scheduled tour to Visakhapatnam district today, the TDP leadership asked deputy CM Chinnarajappa to mediate and clam the minister. To a large extent the deputy CM was successful and he even brought Ganta to the airport to receive AP CM.

Even as everyone in TDP and outside the party were thinking that things had settled down between Chandrababu and Ganta, there was twist in the story by afternoon. AP CM participated in several programmes in Ganta's constituency, Bheemli and finally the TDP chief came to Saipriya Resorts for lunch and invited the HRD minister to join him.

But Ganta did not bother to accept CM's invite and went to another hotel with his followers. This proved that all is not really well between the two. In fact Ganta also reacted for the first on the issue and said few happenings in the recent past had disturbed him and he also had discussed about the same with the CM. But the CM had asked him to participate in the programmes, he said and added, "will have wait and watch for what is in store ahead."
