Jagan lobby realized the true factor of Congress

After a few days of frenetic activity, the Jagan camp has also came to the conclusion that the only way to impress the Congress president would be to express their loyalty to her and leave the entire decision on choosing the successor of late YSR to her.
The supporters of Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy have finally realised that their aim of making him Chief Minister would only happen with the blessings of the Congress president, Mrs Sonia Gandhi, and not by merely mustering the support of MLAs.
Party sources said that since Mrs Gandhi took over the reins of the party a decade ago, the system of eliciting the opinion of MLAs had been given up whenever a leadership crisis occurred.
Instead, the practice is for the high command to convince the legislators to pass a one line resolution leaving the decision to the Congress president.
The high command deputed observers to hold the crisis and then they would convene the CLP meeting, obtain the single line resolution and then inform the party president on the majority opinion’.After that the observers would declare the name of the consensus candidate on the ‘advice’ of party president.
Though observers are being deputed even after Mrs Gandhi became president, their role has become minimal. During the 2004 and 2009 CLP elections, for instance, the customary resolution was passed and Mrs Gandhi announced the name of YSR.
