Congress high command not happy with Rosaiah as the CM
With the Telangana ministers now firm on not withdrawing their resignation unless there is a clear indication from the centre about the time frame for the formation of the T-state, Rosaiah is considered as a failure.
One of the party’s top leaders, close to the Gandhi family, let it out that the party High Command was far from happy with Rosaiah’s performance, especially his handling of the Andhra- Telangana crisis.
The Congress leadership is miffed with the Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister for passing the buck on to the Centre and exposing the Congress leadership to the direct line of fire.
“There are problems of having a weak chief minister,’’ the Congress leader noted. The Congress is clearly holding Rosiah responsible for giving “faulty half-baked input” that there was a firm all-party consensus on the formation of Telangana. The TDP and the Prajarajyam Party, the two key regional players in the State, later reversed their stand. TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu washed his hands off the “consensus’’ claiming he did not expect the Government take a step based on an “informal meeting’’.
Worse, TRS chief K.Chandrasekhar Rao refused to break his fast once the all-party meeting decision was made public. Rao had agreed to do so provided the Prime Minister or Congress president made a public appeal.
