Will APCC President Botcha Satyanarayana, who is also the Minister for Transport in the Kiran Kumar Reddy cabinet, lose his ministerial berth in tune with Rahul Gandhi’s “one man, one post” policy ?.
Soon after taking over the reins as second-in-command of the Congress Party by becoming its Vice-President, Rahul Gandhi had made amply clear that he was against one leader holding more than one post either in the organization or in the government. Though this policy of one man-one post was in vogue in the past, it was given a go by later.
A meeting of all the PCC Presidents and CLP leaders was being held in New Delhi on Friday at the behest of Rahul Gandhi to prepare the party for the ensuing 2014 elections and work out the strategies in this regard. The Gandhi scion is likely to lay more stress on the need for strictly implementing the one man, one post policy.
Since Botcha Satyanarayana is holding two posts – that of APCC President as well as that of Minister for Transport – he is expected to be divested of one of the two posts. Thus the million dollar question that is making rounds in the Congress circles here is whether Botcha would opt top remain as PCC Chief or would he stick top his ministerial gaddhi.
