While some of the 12 ministers, whose resignation from the membership of the state assembly was rejected by the Speaker last week, were said to be keen on resuming duties after staying away for close to a month, the others were adamant on skipping work.

A meeting convened by the CM with the Telangana ministers at his camp office late Saturday night ended without any result as the latter remained non-committal.
