Vayalar Ravi Supports CM Kiran In His Report?

Delhi ambassador is finally opening his views about state congress in the presence of Madam Sonia. Though he has spent oodles of time with PCC Chief Botsa and other anti-Kiran leaders, his reports are in favor with CM Kiran only.

According to reports, Vayalar Ravi has informed Madam Sonia that Kiran Kumar is doing well in the post of Chief Minister than his predecessors. Sources say that Vayalar has supported CM's version in the back footing of Congress in Andhra Pradesh. They have identified YSR and YS Jagan as main threats in Congress in AP other than the internal rifts that are messing up the affairs of party. Coming to Kiran's issue, it is almost clear that CM Kiran and his post are immovable now.

Already, things between Kiran and Botsa are solved to an extent, while Deputy CM Damodara Rajanarasimha is out of the scene even before Ravi's arrival in Hyderabad.

JC-Raghuveera Became Another Kiran-Botsa

Power politics are common among Congress leaders from a long time. The focus has now shifted to Anantapur politics, where there is a friction between JC Diwakar Reddy and minister Raghuveera Reddy.

Both these Congress scions are going opposite ways from a long time. After 2009 elections, Raghuveera's group is showing dominance in all aspects. Reports say that they played key role in obstructing an MP seat to JC's brother Prabhakar Reddy and a minister seat to JC Diwakar Reddy. Recently, JC group is now bursting anger that Delhi ambassador Vayalar Ravi has not invited them to for opinion because of Raghuveera's intervention.

While rivals from same party Rayapati and Kanna criticize each other publicly, people like Kiran-Botsa are duping innocence in public and fighting internally, say observers. Now that JC-Raghuveera too joining this camp, a loss can be anticipated for Congress in coming polls, but not a pinch of benefit.

'Jagan Is Playing Politics With Corpse'

With Vayalar Ravi pumping the necessary boost in Congress leaders before leaving Hyderabad, they are slowly intensifying there attacks on YSR party chief. Here comes the first set of attacks from a Congress minister against YS Jagan.

'In the name of changing the plight of poor, Jagan is playing politics with the corpse of YSR' accused rural development minister Dokka Manikyavaraprasad. He stated that Congress leaders are having enormous respect towards YSR and demanded Jagan to stop playing these cheap stunts. 'Congress is a holy cow, while Jagan is a useless bull, he compares.

According to minister, bull is of no use except for getting yourself hurt when it attacks you with its horns. But a holy cow always gives pure milk, irrespective of the feed it is given and the treatment it receives. Though our minister's comparison is a bit odd, one thing is clear that attacks are started. Get ready, Mr.Jagan!

Vayalar Ravi Showers Joy On CM's Face

After collecting all the required details from state leaders, ambassador from Delhi has taken back flight. But, before leaving Hyderabad he has a reason to make our Chief Minister bask in joy.

'Congress leaders are more united now, and there is no question of leadership change as we have complete positive report on CM Kiran', said Vayilar Ravi before leaving. Kiran Kumar Reddy is looking pale from the last few weeks not only for the crisis in the state but for the prick under his seat. With Ravi confirming that there is no change in leadership, both Kiran and his rival-cum-friend Botsa are on cloud nine, say insiders.

Rather changing leadership and solving disputes between CM and PCC chief, high-command will now focus on strengthening cadres at elementary level. May be they will think of replacing CM and PCC Chief only after winning by-polls and a change is obvious if Congress bites mud anyway, says a political analyst.

All doors closed for YS Jagan

Union minister and High Command's agent from Delhi to state, Vayalar Ravi, ruled out the possibility of YS Jaganmohan Reddy returning back to the Congress party. He made it clear that neither the Congress is interested in inviting him nor will accept the plea even if Jagan himself wants to come back to the parent party. With Vayalar's clarification, the chances of Jagan getting back to Congress looks bleak.

The reports of change of Chief Minister surfaced as Vayalar Ravi came to the state when Kiran Kumar Reddy was in Delhi to attend couple of meeting. However, the senior leader rubbished them by saying Kiran Kumar Reddy will continue in the post and his mission is only to sort out the administration lapses and to strengthen the party in the state.

Admitting that he received several complaints from the party leaders and cadre, Vayalar Ravi said all the issues need to be addressed to retain victory in the 2014 polls. Congress hopes that Vayalar's mission will improve the prospects of the party in the upcoming by-elections for Nellore Lok Sabha and 18 Assembly constituencies.

'Vayalar Ravi Goes Back With Suitcase'

Off course, any person travelling from such a long distance will carry suitcase that fits all of his files, clothes and accessories. We are not talking about the one he comes with, but the one he takes along from Hyderabad.

TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu accused that any Delhi leader coming here to listen and review the situation of state, goes back with a suitcase in hand, but does nothing. 'Corrupt congress government is selling the welfare of state for their own wellbeing', the opposition leader cracked. Naidu feels that Congress is passing days with its internal fights for power, but not troubleshooting the problems of state. However, his comments are directly taking their target at Vayalar Ravi, who is in state to monitor and control the extreme situations in state congress.

Observers are saying that Naidu is not at all giving a breathing space to Congress, even though they are aiming at doing something good. How big his shouts may be, by-poll win matters!

Vayalar Ravi's soft corner towards YSR

Union minister and Congress High Command's ambassador to the state, Vayalar Ravi, stated that he is against targeting former chief minister late YS Rajasekhar Reddy to trouble YSR Congress president YS Jagan.

"YSR is a good friend of mine. It's unfair to corner a person who is no more," he said.

The senior party leader called YS Jagan as boy, hinting that the young leader has just started his political career. He, however, admitted that there is threat to Congress party from him.

Vayalar also clarified that his job is resolve the internal issues in the state Congress and to bring back the party on track, in the wake of by-elections for 18 constituencies. He interacted with several party leaders to assess the situation in the state. On the other hand, complaints poured in from party cadre and leaders.

Chiru Became Vital Force For Congress

When all the leaders of state congress are running to Gandhi Bhavan to meet Vayalar Ravi, he is running to Chiru's house in the name of 'breakfast'. The news has given different signals to Congress cadres in the state and the Delhi's ambassador's talk's added fuel, say observers.

'Congress is going to use the services of Chiru both at State and Central level. He is gonna play a key role between the coordination of cadres in AP', Vayalar said. Though he refused to comment about Chiru's Cabinet Minister post, Ravi stressed that Chiru is a top-leader in Congress as of now. The whole drama has sent shivers in Congress seniors who are writing off Megastar as just another party-worker in Congress.

Presence of PCC Chief at Ravi-Chiru's meet intensified the rumors that Botsa will play a key role in the reorganization of leadership in Andhra Pradesh. However, some are simply scrapping the hype that Vayalar Ravi visited Chiru as a courtesy the he helped the government stabilize with his support during no-confidence motion.

Vayalar Ravi reveals truth about Kiran And Botsa

Finally, Congress ambassador from Delhi to assess the situation of party in state, Vayalar Ravi has spoken to media. He simply scrapped that complaints always come against rulers and there is no need to take them serious, in connection with Kiran-Botsa issue.

Vayalar Ravi stated that they have reports that Chief Minister Kiran and PCC Chief Botsa Satynarayana are doing well. He confirms that he is not here to think about change in leadership and there is no conflict at all between them. 'I'm here to interact with CM, PCC chief and other congress leaders regarding political situation in state.

Practice in Congress party usually is to review performance in every state and that is what I'm doing since I arrived last night', said Vayalar Ravi. He clarified that Ghulam Azad is busy with international meets and ministerial works and hence the high command has sent him here. A speck of smile can be seen on Botsa's face, who is sitting aside this Delhi leader.

State Congress Queues Up In Gandhi Bhavan

Union minister Vayalar Ravi's arrival has triggered chaos in Congress leaders of the state. Ministers, MLAs and MPs are seen forming queues at Gandhi Bhavan to get his 'darshan'.

In a shocking move, Congress high-command has sent Vayalar Ravi to assess the situation in state and bail out party from internal politics. Ravi is going to hear from different factions of Congress about the ongoing situation in state including the war between seniors, seniors and CM, and Telangana agitation. In the wake of coming by-elections, Sonia wants a second opinion from Ravi though CM Kiran, Botsa and Ghulam Azad have already given their reports about Andhra Pradesh.

On the other hand, Governor E L Narasimhan's report about situation in state and Botsa's directions about CM's monopoly are forcing the high-command to consider a leadership change, says a source. Vayalar Ravi is going to enquire various leaders in the absence of CM Kiran and Botsa's presence.
