CM Kiran Kumar Reddy is said to be planning to resign tomorrow after confirming that T-Bill is presented in Lok Sabha. He is likely to recommend the governor Narasimhan to dissolve his cabinet immediately. However, Governor may prefer to follow Congress high command’s orders rather than following Kiran Kumar Reddy’s recommendation.

So, there are three options before the Centre. 1. Imposing President’s Rule. 2. Appoint new CM. 3. Put the Assembly in suspended animated mode until Parliament decides about bifurcation bill.

Imposing President’s Rule will seize its chances to manage the elections. It may not able to handle the administration as it wishes before and during the elections period. So, it has to think about other two options.

Appointing a new Chief Minister for a couple of months may be good idea but looks very silly and embarrassing because it may be inviting fresh troubles from different groups within. So, the best option would be putting the Assembly in sleep mode until T-Bill is passed in the Parliament. Once it is passed it can bring the Assembly to live position any time and can bank upon TRS and MIM support to run the show. Then, it can appoint its loyalists as Chief Ministers and PCC Presidents to both states. This gives an edge for Congress high command to gain full control its leaders and their groups. It can distribute the power among its loyalists and ensure a smooth passage for the party in the elections.
