BAGGUMANNA CONGRESS KARYAKATHALU

Konda Surekha threatens to resign

WARANGAL: Women & Child Welfare Minister Konda Surekha threatened to resign from the Cabinet if Y. S. Jaganmohan Reddy was not made the Chief Minister by Congress party high command.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Ms Surekha said K. Rosaiah was an interim Chief Minister as also all Cabinet Ministers. “The Congress Legislature Party (CLP) should formally elect a leader who would be the Chief Minister. Until then, all the arrangements are deemed to be temporary,” she said.
She said that several Ministers like her had owed their present positions to Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and they continued to owe allegiance to him and his son Jagan. They all expected Mr. Jagan to succeed his father as people in the State had confidence in his leadership.
“My husband Konda Muralidhar Rao was made MLC and I was made Cabinet Minister by YSR. But for him, we are nothing. Hence, we are in support of his son Mr. Jagan. I have decided to quit the Ministry if Mr. Jagan is not made Chief Minister,” she said categorically.
Though she refused to name them, she said there were others in the Cabinet who nursed similar feelings.
Irked at the statements being made by senior Congress leader V. Hanumantha Rao and K. Keshava Rao, she said they should go to the people to know the popularity and faith enjoyed by Mr. Jagan. She opined that it was the seniors within the Congress who were trying to create confusion and hatching plans against Mr. Jagan.
Ms. Surekha urged the party high command to spell out its stand over the issue at the earliest to avoid further confusion and trouble within the party.Ministers gheraoed
Kadapa Special Correspondent adds: Peeved over the delay in making Mr. Jagan Chief Minister, Congress functionaries detained the convoy of Union Minister of State for Steel A. Sai Prathap at Rajampet and ghaeraoed Minister for Minority Welfare Mohd. Ahmedullah in Kadapa on Sunday. They demanded that they quit their posts.
They closed the gates of National Academy of Construction centre at Rajampet, after Mr. Sai Prathap inaugurated it and raised slogans. They also mobbed Congress MLA of Rajampet Akepati Amarnath Reddy. The police intervened to open the gate and escorted the Union Minister and legislator out of the centre.
Separately, district Seva Dal chairman B. Nityananda Reddy and others gheraoed Mr. Ahmedullah at the Collectorate and once again at the State guest house here. Demanding that Mr. Ahmedullah resign from the Cabinet, they warned that they would stage protests outside legislators’ residences too.
Mr. Ahmedullah asserted that he was a loyalist of YSR and would not hesitate to do anything Mr. Jagan ordered. The Seva Dal activists questioned why he did not condemn the remarks of Jagan’s detractors. Congress district vice-president P. Sunil Kumar, SC Cell leader D. Srinivasulu and others participated. Rail roko
Later, Congressmen staged a rail roko agitation by stopping Dadar Express at Kadapa railway station. The police took them into custody after attempts to pacify them proved futile. Congress leader Naru Madhava Reddy asserted that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy should succeed YSR and agitations would be continued until their demand was conceded.
Mr. Nityananda Reddy and about 1,000 Seva Dal members in Kadapa district announced resignation from their posts. Vontimitta mandal unit Congress president H. Subbarami Reddy also sent in his resignation to the State PCC chief.
Congress MLA of Jammalamadugu C. Adinarayana Reddy gave a four-day ultimatum for convening the Congress Legislature Party meeting, failing which he would resign to his membership in the Assembly.
Taking a dig at the Chief Minister , Mr. Adinarayana Reddy said, Mr. Rosaiah was yet to take up ‘Rachchabanda’ and other programmes conceived by YSR and was merely going round temples in the State. Mr. Rosaiah should give a public assurance to continue YSR’s welfare schemes and strive to achieve his goals, he said at a news conference at Jammalamadugu.
Claiming that about 630 persons lost their lives after YSR’s demise, he wondered whether Mr. Rosaiah was concerned about assisting the bereaved families. He flayed senior Congress leaders for ‘unabashedly’ airing irrational statements and trying to misguide the party high command.

Five Andhra legislators threaten to quit over Jagan issue

Five Andhra legislators threaten to quit over Jagan issue
Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy’s supporters in Andhra Pradesh’s ruling Congress appear to be heading for a confrontation with the party’s central leadership as five legislators Tuesday threatened to quit if the son of the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy was not made the state’s chief minister.The legislators from Kadapa district Tuesday set a three-day deadline for convening a meeting of the Congress Legislature Party (CLP) to elect a new leader.
The legislators threatened to quit if the CLP meeting was not convened to enable legislators to elect Jaganmohan Reddy as their leader.
The first open threat came in the backdrop of increasing restlessness among Jagan loyalists over the continuing silence of the central leadership over the demand for making him the chief minister.
C. Adinarayana Reddy, K. Sreenivasulu, P.M. Kamalamma, G. Srikanth Reddy and A. Amarnath Redy, who hail from YSR’s native district of Kadapa, gave the ultimatum to the central leadership.
The Jagan supporters also stalled the general body meeting of the Kadapa Zila Parishad. The five legislators and YSR’s younger brother and member of legislative council Y.S. Viveknanda Reddy also squatted in the zila parishad premises in solidarity with the protestors.
Already, the campaign to anoint 37-year-old Jagan, a first-time MP from Kadapa, as YSR’s political successor had turned violent in some districts, causing major embarrassment to the party.
Jagan’s supporters had recently attacked the party office at Khammam and tore down posters carrying the pictures of Congress president Sonia Gandhi, evoking strong reaction from the party’s senior leaders.
Meanwhile, irked over “non-cooperation” by several ministers who are associated with the Jagan camp, Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, who took over a day after YSR died in a helicopter crash on Sep 2, said those who did not want to work with him can resign.
“I was asked by the high command to take over as CM and I will continue in the position as long as the leadership wants me. If anyone wants to resign, they are free to do so,” said the 77-year-old chief minister.
His remark came against the backdrop of statements by some ministers that they wanted Jagan to be the chief minister.
The reaction from Jagan camp was instant. K. Surekha, a first time minister, said she would resign from the cabinet if Jagan was not made the chief minister. Another minister, K. Venkat Reddy, said it was the desire of an overwhelming majority of party legislators and the general public that Jagan be made the chief minister.

'I have nothing against Jagan or anyone else'

'I have nothing against Jagan or anyone else'
-
Nevertheless, the septuagenarian leader, who says that the Congress high command is his godfather, is settling down in the new position even as his Cabinet colleagues and party leaders continue their campaign to anoint YSR’s son, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, as chief minister.
“It is true that quite a number of legislators and ministers are wishing to see Jagan as the CM and successor of YSR. It does not mean that it is a problem for me. I am not against Jagan or anyone in the Congress,” Rosaiah says. The political career of 75-year-old Rosaiah is spread over 58 years.
He served four Congress chief ministers and holds a national record of presenting 15 Budgets as state finance minister. He was elected to the Legislative Council and hence did not contest the 2009 Assembly elections. “I am not bothered how long I will continue as Chief Minister,” Rosaiah says in a candid interview with Ch Prashanth Reddy. Excerpts:
There is a perception that you are not a mass leader like former chief minister, YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
Yes. I am not a mass leader like YSR. Every leader will have his own qualities. That way, I am a different man. The late Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi were mass leaders whereas Manmohan Singh is not. But Manmohan Singh became Prime Minister twice.
Does the political uncertainty bother you? There is a campaign within your party to anoint YSR’s son YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as the next chief minister. Does it not affect you?
It is true that quite a number of legislators and ministers are wishing to see Jagan as the CM and a successor to YSR. It does not mean that it is a problem for me. I am not against Jagan or anyone else in the Congress party. I am a soldier of Congress and during my 58-year long career, I always took the national leadership’s views as Veda. Even now, as desired by the national leadership of our party, I have taken the oath as CM and functioning to the best of my abilities in this position.
Many see you as a stop-gap arrangement?
In the Constitution, there is no provision for a caretaker chief minister. I am not bothered how long I continue as CM. For 17 years, I have been the office bearer of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC). I have been the PCC chief twice. In the party, I worked as a soldier. Similarly, I am working as a disciplined soldier in the government.
Do you expect the Congress high command to clear the air soon?
Congress leadership would not like this uncertainty to continue for a long time, which is detrimental to the development of the state. As CM, I do not want this uncertainty to continue. But, these are all emotional feelings one has to understand. The high command will take care of these things.
There was a lull in the administration after YSR's death. Has it come back to normal?
YSR was very dear not only to Congress workers but also to the people of the state and the entire population went into a shock. The administration also felt the same for a couple of days. Slowly it started functioning normally. As CM, I have been continuously reviewing different subjects and issuing instructions. I am sparing enough time to clear the pending files. I need another couple of days to clear the backlog. Nobody can say that there is lull in the administration. It is a functioning government.
There are reports of non-cooperation by several ministers as they are pitching for making Jagan the next chief minister?
There is nothing like that. The ministers were in a mourning mood. It took some time for them to come out of it.
How do you feel when you find that your ministerial colleagues are holding discussions with KVP Ramachandra Rao (close aide and adviser to YSR) before attending the Cabinet meeting?
There is nothing wrong in ministers, who have a close association with KVP, meeting him. Problems will crop up only when such things lead to interference in administration.
While being an adviser to the state government, KVP is pitching for Jagan as CM. What do you say about this?
As an adviser, KVP’s role is different. However, he can air his views in his individual capacity.
Does KVP continue to be the state government adviser?
We are consulting each other on phone on various issues. KVP has not yet recovered from the shock of YSR's death. It is to be ascertained whether he is continuing as the government adviser.
Every chief minister would like to choose his own Cabinet. So, is there any Cabinet reshuffle on the cards?
I am not planning anything. If the party leadership wants me to do it, I will do so. I will not take any decisions independently.
When are you going to Delhi?
I will tell mediapersons before going to Delhi.
There is a speculation that Jagan will be accommodated in the central Cabinet.
I have also read in newspapers. The high command will find a way out. The party had faced many challenges in the past and compared to them, this is not a major issue. Jagan is a young and enthusiastic man. He was elected to Parliament with a good majority. These things will be considered by the high command, which will take an appropriate decision.
In the event of the party choosing Jagan for CM’s post, will you continue in his Cabinet?
This is a hypothetical question. Let us hear what they say.
Do you want people to see you as YSR’s successor?
I will considered as YSR’s friend and an active Congress worker. I do not have any coterie or group. I am a common man.
Who is your Godfather?
Congress high command.
When will the meeting of Congress Legislature Party be convened?
Our party will advise me on this. There is time up to six months for this. I also propose to convene Assembly session to pass condolence motion.
How difficult is the state's financial situation?
It is not unmanageable. I agree there is stress on finances but we are managing. Resource mobilisation is not according to the original estimate. There is a shortfall on account of global financial meltdown, slump in real estate sector and slowdown in the IT sector. We are finding ways to bridge the gap and increasing the government spending on infrastructure and other sectors.
The central government has increased the borrowing limit for states to four percent of the GSDP. It has been quite liberal with us and we are expecting liberal grant of funds under various central-sponsored schemes like NREGP, JNNURM, Accelerated Irrigation Benefit Programme, Rajiv Swagruha, PM Rozgar Yojana and Indira Avas Yojna. The Centre is also extending support for industrial development.
The opposition parties are saying that the state is slipping into a debt trap due to financial mismanagement. What do you have to say?
It was during the previous TDP regime that the state was pushed into a debt trap. There was not a single year when the government did not go for overdraft. The Fiscal Responsibility and Budget Management Act came into force from 2005. Before that, the TDP government was borrowing without any restrictions. We did not approach the RBI even for a single rupee under ways and means advance. There is no doubt debt is mounting but we should also look at the growing income levels.

'Jagan for CM' gains ground

'Jagan for CM' gains ground

NEW DELHI: The Congress might have appointed K Rosaiah as the successor to YS Rajasekhara Reddy in Andhra Pradesh, but the succession struggle in
the state continues to rage. YSR’s son, Jagan Mohan Reddy, and his supporters are hunkering down after the Congress’ high command refusal to take a call on the leadership issue in a hurry, but they are also keeping the campaign going to make the 36-year-old Kadappa MP the CM in less obvious ways. The moves by the Jagan camp – which include a speech by the young leader about continuing his father’s development work as well as a press statement by close YSR aide, KVP Ramchandra Rao, asking Jagan sup-porters to refrain from using disruptive methods to drive home their demand to the high command -- have triggered fresh machinations by anti-YSR leaders in Congress to scuttle Jagan’s chief ministerial bid. Those opposed to Jagan, such as MP V Hanumantha Rao and Congress Working Committee (CWC) member K Kesava Rao, have been in the Capital and in touch with Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s political secretary, Ahmed Patel. The anti-Jagan camp, which also includes the like of the CWC member G Venkataswamy and senior leader V Purushotham Reddy, have been trying to deepen the high command’s suspicion about Jagan and his supporters, notably KVP who is spearheading the ‘Jagan for CM’ campaign. Mr Hanumantha Rao, a Rajya Sabha member and a prominent OBC face of the Congress, addressed a press conference in the Capital on Sunday hitting out at those trying to “project YSR as a bigger leader than the Congress chief”. The context for the comments was the tearing down of Ms Gandhi’s posters in Khammam district by Jagan supporters. Decrying the act, the leader alleged that no MP had spoken out against it and said neither the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief D Srinivas nor the CM had taken action against the miscreants. He also hit out at Jagan in a veiled manner. “Few people are spoiling Jagan and ruining his career,” Mr Rao said in what is a likely reference to KVP. He also threatened sit on a 48-hour dharna, noting, “nobody comes before the party president”. His sentiments were echoed by Mr Kesava Rao. These statements stand in stark contrast to the Jagan’s own speech at YSR chopper crash site neat Atmakur on Friday. The leader, who spoke for the first time after his father’s death to large crowds, dwelt on YSR’s work at length, but conspicuously left out mention of the Congress triumvirate of Ms Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi. At the show of strength, that would annoy the Congress high command, Jagan also said he would he visiting each district to console the families of those, who according to Jagan camp, had committed suicide or died of heart attacks after hearing the news of YSR’s death in the chopper crash. Pressure tactics of this kind and the signature campaign to make Jagan the CM even before YSR’s body buried had upset the Congress leadership which viewed it as an arm-twisting tactic. However, due to the popular backing for Jagan (most of the 158 Congress MLAs are supporting his candidature) and business interests nurtured by YSR working from behind the scenes, the party continues to grapple with the Andhra situation. With the Jagan camp having refused the offer of a Central berth for the Kadappa MP, the issue is likely to come to a head after the 13 October Assembly elections.
