Late CM YSR who ruled the stage of Andhra Pradesh with iron like grip used to have his own trusted men as his cabinet ministers so that he won’t be having opposition in any manner. That was the reason why experienced leaders like Shankar Rao, Botsa Satyanarayana, Hanumantha Rao, Late P.Janaradhana Reddy were not taken in the cabinet. Later after his death entire cabinet minsters signed supporting Jagan as CM. Later they went back after watching high command’s reluctance in accepting their request. The high command proceeded with the same cabinet though it changed CM. When ever congress lost in by elections some in the party used to raise their voices saying there are coverts in the cabinet. However they did not name anyone and even the new chief of State Youth Congress,mentioned about coverts. He went ahead and said if action is not taken, he would divulge their names.

When CBI arrested BC minister Mopidevi Venkatararamana, many were shocked as it is not of Congress nature to sacrifice its minster without any reason. Many felt that it was a bait for Jagan’s arrest so that he can’t claim that he was victimised. But now with CBI naming another minister Dharmana Prasada Rao in VANPIC case, shivers are running down the spines of the ministers who were close to YSR. Those who are watching the entire developments wonder who is targeting and fixing YSR cabinet one by one sending them straight to jail. Many feel that it is the handiwork of ever cunning congress high command and Sonia Gandhi, who don’t want to give a chance for cabinet ministers loyal to YSR or target them making them martyrs. Accordingly they are using CBI after making Shankar Rao file a petition in High Court and proceeded with Operation YSR cabinet. Now one wonder who will be next in line from YSR cabinet.

CM chair seems to have become musical chairs play for Congress high command at center. When it happens just like it is happening in Andhra Pradesh at present, then rumors will fly high and people don’t know whom to believe and which news to accept. Friends will change foes and foes will becoming friends before one blinks his eyeball and things change quick and fast. State of AP has been hearing the news of CM change ever since he was sworn in. This has been the situation after the tragic death of YSR who used to be the strong force. This even his detractors when he was alive and now vouch for.

The day Congress lost by elections, which has now become a habit for the party, many predicted change in CM post. However nothing of that sorts happened and when aspirants for CM post lost their hopes, suddenly came the Gas issue in which stakes are high for the state. However none including the cabinet ministers and Union Petroleum Minsiter Jaipal Reddy thought so. This became weapon for CM Kiran who lost all his hopes of continuing in the CM post. He single handedly won the battle and bought gas back to state.

However with speculation of CM change, many contenders are trying their luck and started testing their chances. Some like Jana Reddy, Jaipal Reddy and others in cabinet along with Botsa Satyanarayana are silently trying their chances. However many feel Megastar Chiranjeevi may turn out to be the dark horse just like Kiran emerged when Rosaiah was booted out. During that time there were strong contenders but Sonia pulled Rabbit Kiran from her hat. Who knows this time if luck favors Chiru he could well be AP’s next CM. Better Chiru plays his card close to his chest and if he manipulate things accordingly he will be in with a golden opportunity. All the best Chiru!

Each and everyone is aware of the duties and responsibilities of Law Minister and his Law Ministry. When any law and order problem arises Minister will be held responsible. Such is the importance of the portfolio that he should be alert day in and day out. However current Law Minister of Andhra Pradesh Erasu Pratap Reddy seems to be having other ideas and is choosing to look else where. Public still can not forget how vandals acted going on a demolishing spree during million march or when lawyers held even High Court to ransom attacking and threatening even honorable judges. However Law Minister did not take any steps or try to make lawyers of his officials mend their ways and make the state safe zone for public.

According to latest information the Law Minister is making his debut in tollywood and is fulfilling his dream of becoming CM at least on silver screen. He is making his debut on silver screen in a Jagapathy Babu’s new film under Nandam Harishchandra Rao’s direction. He will be seen in a special role as CM of AP!.> The film’s shooting is currently under progress at Hyderabad and producers Jitta Surendra Reddy and AB.Srinivas say that the shooting will be completed by 28th of this month. Law Minister speaking on the occasion said the film revolves around current politics and how opponent political parties try to topple honest CM. Film includes Posani Krishna Murali, Sayaji Shinde, Rao Ramesh, RK.Sonia, Katti Kartika and others are in the film. MM.Srileka is the music director for the film.

Many feel that anyway Law Minister is aware that even if he throws some criminals in lockup, his political bosses will wake up or TRS party will start T agitation demanding release of the criminals and so he is not wasting his time. In the mean time he is at least realising his dream of becoming CM in real life before he puts his plans in action in real life.

AP Governor ESL.Narasimhan’s ways many times came in for severe criticism. While his predecessors used to stay aloof away from on going politics in the state, Narasimhan started taking undue interest and showed his ever ready willingness to take on the mantle. When he took charge the situation in the state was such that any moment many exposed president’s rule. However Cong did not impose and during Rosaiah regime Governor had free hand in the functioning of the Govt. Even when Kiran took over charge for some time he had a free hand and now that Kiran trying to impose his stamp on the functioning of Govt, all those who had free hand till now started feeling the heat.

When CM Kiran scored first victory stopping supply of Gas to Maharashtra’s Ratnagiri’s plant many congress ministers accused CM of playing politics and bringing down the image of petroleum minister Jaipal Reddy. Even Governor who went to Delhi to submit some report instead of hailing the efforts of CM Kiran ,criticised all the controversy over Gas saying when there were no natural gas resources in AP, how can the state CM and media make such a hue and cry over the whole non issue. This is not the first time Governor has shown his penchant for controversial statements. Even earlier also instead of keeping quite he issued some statements on T-issue and many other burning problems.

This shows who are the real enemies of CM Kiran. It has to be seen how Kiran tackles with non cooperative ministers, colleagues and even first person of Andhra Pradesh.

CM Kiran is waging a valiant battle single handedly with his opponents inside and outside the party. He is trying to bring his stamp on Cong rule and introduced some schemes for the benefit of the poor. Most popular among them is Rajiv Yuva Kiranalu, a scheme which trains poor and provides them corporate jobs. In his recent visit to Khammam, as a part of his tour ‘Indiramma Bata’ to get first hand information of how the Govt programs and schemes are getting implemented, Govt officials made one girl who got employment under the scheme to speak with the CM.

An excited CM interacted with the girl and asked what job she got after undergoing training in Govt scheme. When the girl replied she got job in a diamond company, Kiran was stunned and remarked ‘Oh My God’ and trying to find out more he asked where she was working and for how much salary. All his happiness and excitement evaporated the moment girl replied she was working for 5k in Hyderabad. All the officials and ministers present at the stage were shocked that Kiran’s brainchild trained poor to relocate from Khammam to Hyd for mere 5k pay leaving all their belongings.

Now one should wait and see what Kiran will do to iron out the flaws in his brainchild. Many were seen murmuring that the officials need training on how to implement schemes for the benefit of the poor.
