Kiran in catch- 22 over his resignation

Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is in a dilemma over what should be his next course of action. After reports of him being sacked for defying the party leadership surfaced, the chief minister seems to be in a spot and also unable to decide whether to resign or wait for the party to make a move. He has to now decide when to resign - before the Telangana Bill is introduced in the Parliament or after the Bill gets passed?

Speculations are rife in the national capital that the Congress High command is planning to sack the CM for defying the Centre’s decision by sitting on a dharna opposing its decision to divide the state and for moving a resolution in the State Assembly rejecting the State Reorganisation Bill 2013.

According to reports that were aired on several news channels, Kiran during a meeting with the Seemandhra ministers and MLAs at Jubilee Hall in Hyderabad, told them he will never give a chance to the Centre to sack him. And that he was ready to sacrifice anything for the Samaikyandhra cause. Responding to this, the Seemandhra MLAs reportedly told the CM to wait till the issue is finalised in the Supreme Court to take a unanimous call over the resignation.

Meanwhile, the Seemandhra leaders are reportedly spreading talks in the State Assembly that CM Kiran is going to resign sometime today and that he will hold a press meet in the evening to announce the same. (CM Kiran says sorry to women ministers)
