Minister Seethakka skipped a crucial Cabinet meeting expected to discuss Telangana’s pending local body elections. Her concurrent presence at an awards event in Dubai, confirmed via social media, has sparked speculation about internal discord within the Congress leadership
Hyderabad: The absence of Panchayat Raj and Rural Development Minister D Anasuya, popularly known as Seethakka, from Monday’s Cabinet meeting, expected to discuss the long-overdue local body elections under her portfolio, has triggered speculation about internal rifts at the top level of the Congress party.
Adding to the intrigue are conflicting reports about her whereabouts. While official sources remained evasive about her presence in Telangana, there are strong indications that the Minister was in Dubai on a private visit even as the Cabinet met at the Secretariat.
Photographs posted on Instagram and Facebook confirmed her presence in Dubai on Sunday. In one image, Seethakka was seen presenting the ‘Woman Icon of the Year’ award to entrepreneur Devu Vimal Ravindranath, Executive Director and CFO of Al Zaabi Group, at the Master Vision International Excellence Awards and Business Conclave 2025 held on Sunday (June 22) at a five-star hotel in Deira.
