With the Governor accepting Mr Kiran Kumar’s resignation, the fate of AP lies in the hand of the Congress high Command and its future plans for the state. Is it the Presidents Rule or do we have a probable contender for taking over the CN Reigns? Speculations are rife about who could be the Next Man. One of them being the Tamil Nadu Governor, Mr Rosaiah .The old war horse who has considerable credibility with the High Command and who also was the former CM before Kiran Kumar took over , has considerable experience in handling these kind of crisis situations. The other probable contender is Kanna Lakshminarayana who was seen lobbying with Sonia Gandhi last November which fueled speculations that he could be the next contender which he vehemently denied. Now the other biggies like former Home Minster Jana Reddy and Botsa Satyanarayana who all have had their fair share of lobbying with the high command are slowly ascertaining their status before they make their move .What is the need of the hour now is who will do the hand holding and ensure the smooth bifurcation of the states –lock stock and barrel ?
