Jagan Saved Prathipati Pulla Rao from Axe?Pathipati Pulla Rao should be one of the ministers who faces the axe in cabinet shuffle today. His name is heard in the outgoing ministers’ list for a long time but then all of sudden, he is saved. Unexpectedly, Pulla Rao was saved by none other than Jagan Mohan Reddy.

A few days ago, YSR Congress alleged that Pulla Rao amassed the assets of Agrigold for cheap prices. Chandrababu Naidu himself challenged Jagan to prove that. He went on to say either Pulla Rao or Jagan, only one should remain in the house.

Jagan evaded the challenge which is another topic but that incident saved Pulla Rao. Chandrababu felt that removing him at this stage will send wrong signals and so, Pulla Rao retained his cabinet berth. This is totally unexpected for YSR Congress.
