Looking at the recent political happenings in the country, it may be said that the Congress Party is slowly losing ground in southern India. To begin with, it was Tamil Nadu debacle, then Karnataka crisis erupted with tussel between the Governor and chief minister Yeddyurappa and now in andhra Pradesh - the open challenge to go to polls by Congress leader turned rebel Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The Congress in Andhra Pradesh is on slippery ground again, as evident by its 19 Congress MLAs started openly supporting former party leader Jagan Reddy. Moreover, a two-day damage control meet by state incharge Gulam Nabi Azad showed that demands for the ouster of current Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy have gotten shriller. "The party is facing a crisis. Everyone is discouraged. The party needs to change its way of functioning. There is no plan and no action," said Kothuluamma, a senior Congress MLA from CM's native Chittoor district.
Though Gulam Nabi Azad said while leaving back to Delhi "I am happy to see that the morale of the Congress party is maintained and everyone is committed to strengthen the party and their support for Sonia Gandhi. I am sure together, we will be able to fulfill the people aspirations in Andhra." But the situation isn't going to be so anymore with the Telangana issue all set to heat up again in the coming weeks. The party's regional split is also bound to widen and keeping its flock together seems to be fast becoming a greater challenge for the ruling party.
