In wake of wide spread reports about CM Kiran Kumar Reddy resignation, Minister TG Venkatesh’s media statement is acknowledging the same. He said that he believes CM may not continue any further if the Center has made-up its mind to divide the state. Then, obviously all the Seemandhra ministers also would like to quit and intensify their fight for Samaikyandhra.

This is a clear hint that, CM has already resigned but official not declared, otherwise, TG Venkatesh may not dare to make such statement before media. Even, CM or his office has not condemned his statement. So, we can assume that reports about his resignation are genuine and it is just a matter of time to make it official.

But, if, he is relieved from duties, then obviously it will elevate his image among the agitating Seemandhra leaders and may provoke them revolt against the party. More over, finding a suitable person who is acceptable to both regional leaders is also a complicated task for Congress. If, it tries to install anyone from Telangana, then Seemandhra leaders may fight him by tooth and nail. If, a person from Andhra region is installed in his chair, then Telangana leaders may protest. In such case, the only option left the center is to go for imposing President’s rule until the bifurcation process is completed.
