As the central leadership is biding its time, diehard supporters of late Rajasekhara Reddy are slowly veering round to the view that a compromise formula could be worked out to settle the succession issue.Among the options being weighed in the camp are that Mr. Jagan could seek the post of Deputy Chief Minister, if the central leadership was averse to replacing Mr. K. Rosaiah as the Chief Minister.Mr. Jagan’s supporters continued to meet him at the Chief Minister’s official residence at Begumpet here. They included four Ministers -- Ponnala Lakshmaiah, Danam Nagender, M.Mukesh Goud and V. Sunitha Laxma Reddy – and a dozen MLAs. NTR TDP president Lakshmi Parvathi also called on the Kadapa MP who is scheduled to return to Bangalore on Thursday.Meanwhile, former Minister J.C. Diwakar Reddy is emerging as the rallying point for a ginger group of Congressmen supporting Mr. Rosaiah. At a breakfast meeting he hosted Wednesday morning, former Ministers D.K. Samarasimha Reddy, Palvai Goverdhan Reddy, MLCs K. Indrasain Reddy, K. Yadava Reddy and K. R. Amos, besides former MLC B. Kamalakar Rao and ex-PCC president P. Narsa Reddy were critical of the action of some Ministers in openly opposing the Chief Minister.These Ministers, they reportedly said, were spending time to meet Mr. Jagan instead of reaching out to people affected by the floods. Mr. Diwakar Reddy explained the difficulties Mr. Rosaiah was facing on account of non-cooperation of these Ministers and concurred with the other leaders that the AICC should take serious note of this development.
