Making it clear that the Telangana Congress leaders will not accept Royala Telangana at any cost, Congress member of Rajya Sabha Palvai Goverdhan Reddy has said that the Congress high command has to clear the Telangana issue first,  and then only take up issues like change of Chief Minister and other posts later.

Speaking to the media at CLP office here on Friday, Palvai has made it clear that AICC Chief Sonia Gandhi had no plans of changing the present Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy. He made it clear that Sonia Gandhi didn’t discuss this issue with any leader from the State. Change of guard is a mere speculation, he said. Sonia Gandhi was busy with the Presidential elections. He said that the Centre has to create the separate Telangana State with the existing 10 districts only.

Responding to questions on Party’s bye-election debacle, Palvai said that the CBI did a mad thing by arresting YSRCP Chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, prior to the bye-elections. The Party also failed to face Jagan in a fitting manner and hence the party’s debacle.

Palvai has also opined that releasing of Nagarjuna Sagar water to Krishna Delta was not proper as the water in the Reservoir is at dead-storage level.
