A hot news is doing rounds in the political circles that the AICC president, Sonia Gandhi, had asked Chief Minister K Rosaiah to erase the image and impressions of late chief minister, Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy.
It is said that Sonia Gandhi is disappointed the way Dr Rajasekhar Reddy had bargained the party tickets during the 2009 elections, where he left no chance for her to choose the candidates. Though his selection proved correct and the party was able to win 33 MP seats, she did not like the way Dr Rajasekhar Reddy handled the issue. She felt that Dr Reddy had grown stronger than the party and wanted to cut him to size as the UPA government settles down. However, things took new turn with the sudden death of Dr Rajasekhar Reddy.
Now, she is firm on totally removing the impressions of Dr Rajasekhar Reddy from the State and the Congress politics and wants the leaders to depend on her leadership. She is preparing ground for Rahul Gandhi to head the party and also become the Prime Minister after the 2014 elections. It is for this reason, she wants no stronger leader in the States, to cause trouble to her son.
She saw a great threat to her son in Dr Rajasekhar Reddy and now visualizes even greater threat to Rahul if Kadapa MP, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, is made the Chief Minister. Though both YS and Jagan proclaim their loyalties to the Gandhi family, Sonia is worried about strong leaders from the States who might cause some inconvenience to her son.
Keeping this in mind, Sonia had reportedly directed Rosaiah to make changes to the administration and also to the Cabinet. She had even given him free hand to pick his Ministers, but with greater representation to those who were rejected by Dr Rajasekhar Reddy.
It is for this reason, Rosaiah started reorganization of the administration and kept his hands on reshuffling of the Cabinet.
