Hyderabad, May 20: The Congress Government in Andhra Pradesh today completed two years in power, but there was no official function to mark the anniversary as the party and the government grapple with a series of issues and growing dissidence.
The ruling party observed ‘re-dedication day’ for six years ever since it returned to power in 2004.
This time, however, the Congress is bogged down with too many problems, including growing dissidence within its ranks, forcing it to skip the “re-dedication day” that marks the government’s anniversary.
“Re-dedication day” was rather a symbolic, though high-profile, celebration that the government organised every year in unison with the Congress party.
It was on May 20, 2009 that Y S Rajasekhara Reddy became the Chief Minister for a second successive term after having completed a five-year stint.
