A cold war clearly seems to be emerging between the chief minister Kirankumar reddy and the PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana and it is surely premature now to imagine where it will lead the government and the party in the state.

Despite the repeated assertions of Botsa in media conferences and interviews that he has no differences with the chief minister and both of them would work together to provide a new look to the party and the government, Kirankumar reddy is visibly rattled by the moves of Botsa in interacting with ministers, top bureaucrats and party leaders soon after his taking over as the PCC chief on June 11.

Botsa, straight forward and outspoken to the core as he is, has been conducting daily meetings with party leaders and asking them to take the welfare programmes of the party rapidly into the masses. He has also asked all senior leaders of the party to visit the party offices regularly in their respective areas and interact with workers and people and know their problems.  For himself, he promised to visit the state party headquarters regularly when he is in Hyderabad to handle party matters. Botsa also announced that he would undertake regular visits to various districts to interact with leaders and party workers and solve issues if any.  

While this is his message to the party leaders and cadres, he also asked the ministers to take own decisions on important issues of their portfolios and not depend on the CM for instructions for each and every thing.

In just three days after he took over as the PCC chief, Botsa, behaving like a super chief minister, reviewed the implementation of several welfare programmes of the government and even made the Health Minister Dr Ravindra Reddy come to his cabin wherein he asked him to allot funds for buying more 103 and 108 vehicles under Rajiv Arogya Sri scheme.

With out any second thought, Botsa declared in an interview that he will continue to bring issues to the notice of various ministers and try to find solutions to them for the sake of the people. By openly declaring that party and government are not different from each other, he served a warning to Kirankumar that he would call the shots even in government as the PCC chief. He is clearly ambitious of taking control of the administration when he says that he would ensure proper implementation of various welfare programmes as PCC president and bring good name to the government.
