Make Jagan CM or we quit: Andhra MPs, MLAs

HYderabad: In Andhra Pradesh, the political crisis has deepened with the MPs and MLAs threatening to quit, if the chief ministership is not handed over to the late chief minister, YSR Reddy's son, Jagan Mohan Reddy. But Andhra Congress Committee (APCC) has made it clear that it would not relent to any show of dissidence.

After tearing down Congress President Sonia Gandhi's posters earlier this week the clamour to make late YSR Reddy's son Jagan Mohan Reddy the chief minister seems to have reached its zenith in Andhra Pradesh.

"I will resign from the post if Jagan is not made CM," said Minsiter for Women Development and Child Welfare, Surekha,

However, senior party leaders, including Chief Minister K Rosaiah are attempting to reign in this embarrassing outburst. The APCC has warned MLA's and MP's not to cross their limit.

"I have asked the members not to indulge in any indisciplinary act, but they continue to do so then we will take action and report it to the high command," said APCC President, Srinivas.

The battle for Andhra Pradesh's top spot is getting fierce by the day. With several ministers threatening to quit in support of Jagan, and party high command pulling up state leaders time and again for the ongoing indiscipline, the common man here is left wondering how many of these acts will actually go beyond political rhetoric.
