Cadre opinion does not matter in Congress!

There is lot of support for YS Jagan from the party MLAs, MPs, MLCs and also the Congress cadre. Are all these going to help YS Jagan? May be we cannot predict the future but the way things are going on and also the silence from high command indicate that the decision may not favourable to YS Jagan. Do you remember the noise created by Congress cadre in 2004 while seeking Sonia as Prime Minister? Everybody in congress wanted her to take up the PM seat but she left her decision to "inner voice" and made Manmohan Singh as prime minister.
The next day, a meeting of Congress MPs endorsed the 71-year-old then Manmohan Singh, a highly respected former finance minister and Mrs Gandhi's preferred candidate, as prime minister. The best guess of many political pundits is also the same now. A name will come in a sealed cover and CLP will formally meet and accept the name recommended by Sonia Gandhi. Sonia's choice may not be YS Jagan. It could be one of K. Rosaiah, Pallam Raju, Jaipal Reddy, Botsa or Purandeswari.
