Did not aspire for ministerial berth, says Thammineni

Andhra Pradesh State Assembly Speaker Thammineni Seetharam has said he did not aspire for any posts.

“Every newspaper reported that Mr. Seetharam would be inducted into the Cabinet. But I did not aspire for it. I should not be a problem for Chief Minister Y.S.  Jagan Mohan Reddy. I am ready to do any work assigned to me,” he said.

Mr. Seetharam told the media on Tuesday that the BCs distanced themselves from the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) long back. The TDP would get washed away with the social justice steps taken by the Chief Minister. They would not secure even deposits in the next elections. “I am not saying this as a Speaker but as a BC leader,” he said.
