It is three days since the results for the by-elections to 18 assembly seats and Nellore Lok Sabha were out. All the political party leaders have reacted on the by-poll outcome, including PCC president Botsa Satyanarayana, AICC observer Vayalar Ravi, Opposition leader N Chandrababu Naidu, TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao, BJP state president G Kishan Reddy and so on.
However, there has not been a single comment from Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy. As the responsible head of the state, he was expected to give observations on the election results, which any Chief Minister would do. Somehow, Kiran chose to keep silent on the by-poll outcome. Instead, he tried to give impression to the media that he was too busy with attending on the victims of Vizag Steel Plant and the Maharashtra bus accident and that he had no time talk about politics.
Party sources say the Chief Minister might have received a dressing down from the high command for the poor results and that he might have been asked to pack his bags. If one observes his body language, it is pretty evident that he might not stay longer in the hot seat, as he is not capable of leading the party to victory in the 2014 elections. But anything may happen in the Congress party; who knows Kiran will continue because of the TINA (There Is No Alternative) factor!
