Chennai: Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa on Saturday sacked Dairy Development Minister BV Ramana from her cabinet. She also dropped him from his AIADMK's District Secretary position.
Rural Industries Minister P Mohan will now take charge as the new Dairy Development Minister in place of Mr Ramana.
The State Governor K Rosaiah has accepted the recommendation by Ms Jayalalithaa. However, the reason for dropping him from the cabinet is not known.
A few days ago, intimate photographs of Mr Ramana with a lady appeared on social media. Minister's aides said she is his wife. There is speculation that this could be the reason.
In the past too, at least on one occasion, Ms Jayalalithaa had dropped Mr Ramana but brought him back later.
