Hyderabad, Jan 3 (IANS) A minister in Andhra Pradesh Tuesday complained to President Pratibha Patil against his cabinet colleague, whom he held responsible for a recent attack on him.
Textiles Minister P. Shankar Rao met Pratibha Patil, who is on a southern sojourn here, and demanded action against those involved in the Dec 20 attack on him.
