CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is likely to resign tomorrow owing to his stand taken in favor of Samaikyandhra. Some of his close aides are stating that he may launch new political party very soon. However, his rival group in the party led by Botsa Satyanarayana is stating that no one would follow him and the idea of launching the new party would be a disaster. So, if he fails to take away majority of the Congress leaders with him, he can’t afford to launch his new party. So is Botsa swings into action to stop the leaders from going with him.

There are particular problems in launching of new political party. If seen his nature of handling the matters without taking the others into confidence, he may not let others take charge of his new party, though they may be very seniors to him. He never let his cabinet colleagues share the information of his schemes or claim credit of them. He even followed the same principal during his fight for Samaikyandhra. Except him, all his colleagues could not catch the limelight in the entire struggle. So, he may not allow anyone to steal the show in his new party also. This may discourage many to join him.

Moreover his rival group argues that there is no meaning in launching a party in the name of Samaikyandhra after state is virtually divided into two. However, even if launches his new party after bifurcation, he has nothing to offer to people in return except a non-congress-government that carries a clear Congress mark across it. So, this may make the people suspect his honesty and his party intentions.

If he is launching the new party following his high command’s directions to split the votes and to stop TDP from coming to power, it is very difficult to convince the people that his party will not merge with Congress or support it after elections. So, there are several odds to think about before launching a new party. However, he has not many options except retiring from politics.
