Andhra Pradesh Minister Sentenced

The bitterly fought Nandyal by-election is over and won, but Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu is not calling a ceasefire. He took yet another swipe at opposition leader Jaganmohan Reddy, comparing him to Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, the Dera Sacha Sauda sect chief sentenced to 20 years in jail on Monday in two rape cases.

Andhra Pradesh Secondary Education Minister K Parthasarathy refused to step down from his post yesterday, even as Opposition parties raised their pitch for his resignation or dismissal after a local court sentenced him to a two-month jail term in a FERA violation case.

Andhra Pradesh secondary education minister K Parthasarathy was sentenced to two months' simple imprisonment on Wednesday by a Hyderabad court in a 13-year-old case of Foreign Exchange Regulation Act (FERA) violation.
