Unconvinced with the loyalties of Andhra ministers, CM Kiran entrusted the by-poll responsibilities to ministers from Telangana region. Ministers DK Aruna (Mahabubnagar), Uttam Kumar (Nalgonda), Sridhar Babu (Karimnagar) are going to supervise by-poll works in Kadapa, Guntur and Tirupathi respectively. Though the political dynamics are different in all three regions of State, CM's move looked independent, proving that he has no belief in us, says an Andhra minister. It is heard that CM is of the belief that Seemandhra ministers are entering into secret pacts with Jagan to defeat Congress party.
If this is the case with handing responsibilities, then we have to see how Congress leaders will fight to field candidates as the selection is pending yet. It remains to be seen whether all these tactics fetch assembly seats for Congress in 18 constituencies due for by-polls.
