Jagan’s Plan To Split Congress With Chiru

While it looks like the decision has almost been made at the Congress central command that it is going to be Rosaiah who would be heading the state as the chief minister until further notice, there seems to be a small current that is growing in the camp of Y S Jagan.

The talk in circles is that Jagan might soon be heading a new party and the interesting thing is, the Praja Rajyam Party is likely to be merging with this new YS congress if high command still delays. It is said that Chiranjeevi has been showing positive signs of merging PRP with Jagan led Congress.

On the other hand, Jagan is also said to be positive about welcoming Chiru if he wishes and the coming months will reveal what will the situation be like. Meanwhile, the political experts say that under the current position, this is the best move that Chiru can make before he gets humiliated further.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi is learnt to have given her nod for an early cabinet reshuffle during her meeting with CM K Rosaiah in the course of an aerial survey of the flood-hit areas on Monday.

Highly placed sources told that Sonia Gandhi discussed with the CM the steps needed to strengthen the government and governance in the state, which included giving the cabinet a new look. “Some heads are likely to roll. Some seniors along with some young MLAs will be given an opportunity,” a source told media.

Both Union home minister Chidamabaram and PCC chief D Srinivas are said to have stressed the need to revamp the cabinet at the earliest. While Chidambaram and Srinivas were also part of Sonia’s entourage during the aerial survey, Union law minister M Veerappa Moily — who is also AICC in-charge of AP — was not part of the chopper ride. He embarked only when Sonia headed for Karnataka after her aerial survey of Kurnool and Mahbubnagar districts.

It is reliably learnt that apart from the devastation caused by the unprecedented floods, Sonia expressed concern over the recent political developments in the party in the state. Sources said she wanted a strong and effective government in the state which could lead the party to victory in 2014 elections. Expressing confidence in Rosaiah’s leadership, she is said to have reassured the CM of full support from the party and the Union government.
