Botsa blames Kiran for Congress miserable situation

 Andhra Pradesh Former PCC President Botsa Satyanarayana is likely to join the YSR Congress party in the presence of Jagan Mohan Reddy at his Lotus Pond residence on June 7th. He may not find any problem or objections for criticizing the ruling TDP government and its Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu, but may find some difficulty if asked to criticize the Congress party as he can’t blame it for anything or can’t make any allegations against it because he served it for the last 12 years and holds key posts in it.

He is aware that people of the state have punished the Congress party and still ignoring it for dividing the state. So, he is leaving the Congress party after realizing its future is blink in the state. So, he found a nice excuse to for his decision to abandon the sinking Congress ship.

Speaking to his community leaders at Vijayawada, he said “One can’t blame the Congress party for dividing the state. There are several players in, who need to share the blame. But, the key player is former Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy. He cheated the Congress high command and misguided the state leaders also. Congress party was badly affected in the state. I have decided to leave the party only after all our efforts made during last one year to revive its lost glory were failed. I am shifting to the YSR Congress party on the insistence of my followers and party workers. I will strive hard to strengthen the YSR Congress party in the district.”

But, Botsa Satyanarayana, who is blaming former Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy for betraying the party high command and the leaders of the state, has played double games with the people of the state and his party high command as well. While supporting the high command’s decision, he sat for dharna at New Delhi conducted by the then CM Kiran Kumar Reddy protesting the Centre’s decision of bifurcation of the state. His efforts to succeed Kiran Kumar Reddy during the last weeks of the bifurcation are also not any big secret and later he dearly paid for it.

To be honest, Kiran Kumar Reddy alone boldly revolts against his party high command which is very unusual in the Congress history. It is Congress high command that neglected to lend its ears to hear the alarm bells rung by him for the sake of party and the state. Some leaders from the AP state have misguided their high command making false assurances stating that they can bring the party to the power, even after dividing the state, if they were made Chief Minister of the state. Botsa Satyanarayana may know who they are, but not Kiran Kumar Reddy.
