Hyderabad, March 05: Kiran Kumar Reddy friday completed his first 100 days in office as Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister.
The Congress high command overnight replaced K Rosaiah with Kiran Kumar as Chief Minister on November 25 last year in the wake of a deepening crisis within the party. He was supposed to be the ruling Congress’ trouble-shooter at a time when the party was faced with rebellion from former MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy and the turmoil over the statehood issue.
The turbulence over the statehood issue continues unabated while Jagan’s shadow also haunts the chief minister, leaving him on a shaky wicket.
Critics says governance has been largely paralysed in the past three months because of the prevailing political uncertainty. The ongoing agitations for Telangana, particularly the non-cooperation movement by government employees, have only compounded the woes of people.
“Governance has become the biggest casualty in the state.
