The Center has summoned the state Governor Narasimhan, Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, PCC president Botsa Satya Narayana, former PCC President D.Srinivas and the Deputy CM Damodara Raja Narasimha to New Delhi on Saturday.
First of all, Governor Narasimhan has met Home Minister Chidambaram a short while ago and next going to meet Prime Minister Dr.Manmohan Singh. Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and Botsa Satyanarayana also may join their meeting. Later all of they will have another meeting with core committee members. Congress high command has asked them all to stay at New Delhi until the meetings are over.
So, probably some interesting announcement is expected from the Congress party by today evening or tomorrow. Either it may be about Telangana or may be imposing President’s Rule on the state. TRS which is also anxiously waiting for Delhi announcement has postponed its Rail Roko program to avoid clash with the Government.
However, keeping in view of previous experiences, we can assume Congress may plan another series of meetings to prolong the issue. In case, if it makes any favorable announcement on Telangana issue, certainly it ignites sparks in rest of the state which is in peaceful condition. Congress which already suffered a setback in Telangana can’t afford to loose its credibility in rest of the state.
Then the two alternatives left for the Congress party is either imposing President’s Rule or prolong the issue in the name of meetings and negotiations.
Let us see, how it will manage the situation.
