CM Kiran postpones Delhi trip, won't meet GoM

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who was supposed to meet the Group of Ministers (GOM) on Telangana in Delhi on Thursday night postponed his visit this morning

It is learnt from the chief minister’s sources that CM Kiran will not be travelling to Delhi to attend the GoM meet. CM was to leave for Delhi this evening. But now, this isn't happening. CM's presence was crucial.

However, the reasons for postponement of CM's tour is not clear.

Political speculation suggest that Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is against the centre's decision to bifurcate the state, is intentionally avoiding.

But reports from Delhi say something else. The GoM has now asked the chief minister to be available for the meeting on Nov 18, when the ministerial group would be holding consultations with the central ministers from the state. The GoM held separate meetings with seven political parties of the state over the last two days in the national capital to get their views on various issues related to bifurcation.

By defying the Congress decision on splitting the state, Kiran kumar Reddy has already asked the central government to reconsider the decision, saying bifurcation would lead to many problems.

Kiran Kumar Reddy writing to President Pranab Mukherjee and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, finding fault with the manner in which the government is going ahead with the process of bifurcation is a known fact.

Let's wait to see how far the CM’s word is taken into consideration and if that happens what else is in store for the people of this state.
