'Jagan-for-CM' demand turns into a wish for AP Ministers
Andhra Pradesh Congress ministers, who have been pitching for making YS Jaganmohan Reddy as Chief Minister, appeared to have mellowed down.
Andhra Pradesh Congress ministers, who have been pitching for making YS Jaganmohan Reddy as Chief Minister, appeared to have mellowed down.
"Making Y S Jagan as Chief Minister is not our demand. It is our wish. We will abide by the decision of the (Congress) high command," State Panchayat Raj Minister B Satyanarayana, a strong supporter of Jagan, told reporters here.
Almost all the ministers have been vociferously espousing the cause of anointing Jaganmohan, a first-time MP, as his late father Rajasekhara Reddy's successor.
Rajasekhara Reddy's close aide and Rajya Sabha member K V P Ramachandra Rao has been leading the "Jagan-for-CM" campaign with the active support of the ministers.
The ministers have earlier faced flak from Opposition parties for skipping the official reviews held by Chief Minister K Rosaiah.
Meanwhile, Congress Working Committee member K Keshav Rao, in-charge of party affairs in West Bengal and Jharkhand, said all partymen should abide by the high command's decision.
Rao praised the abilities of Rosaiah, a veteran politician, as an able leader.
