Sridhar Babu (higher education), Mrs D.K. Aruna (small industries) and Mr B. Sudarshan Reddy (medical education) has been vigorously opposing the Chief Minister’s strategy on Telangana.
On Monday, the gulf between the group and the Chief Minister widened after police caned students in Osmania University.
