The suspense over the fate of Deputy Chief Minister and Health Minister T. Rajaiah in the wake of serious charges of corruption in his department was sealed on Sunday when the Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao sacked him from the Cabinet and inducted Warangal MP of TRS Kadiam Srihari in his place.
The events since Mr. Rao sent his emissaries to Governor E.S.L. Narasimhan recommending the dropping of Dr. Rajaiah and swearing-in of Mr. Srihari at the Raj Bhavan took place in a jiffy as they were all over in less than half-an-hour.
