Even after the chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and PCC chief Botsa Satyanarayana telling n number of times that there were no differences among them, several incidents reportedly hint that the rift exists between the duo. While Botsa is the head of the Congress party in the state, Kiran Kumar Reddy is the head of the government in the state. And Congress being the ruling party in the state, the decision taken by PCC chief and chief minister should actually be the same in the interest of the party. But, it looks like the decisions taken by CM were not welcomed by the PCC chief and vice versa, said sources.

In a recent incident, Botsa Satyanarayana was irked to notice that Bobbili MLA Raja Sujaya Krishna Rangarao and Eluru MLA Alla Nani tilted towards Jaganmohan Reddy.  The angered Botsa Satyanaryana has asked Kantheti Satyanrayana to serve show cause notices on the duo. But, Kiran Kumar Reddy suddenly plunged into the picture and asked Kantheti not to issue notices to them, said sources.

He has even reportedly told Kantheti that the decision of issuing show causes notices to Alla Nani and Sujaya Krishna was made without taking him into confidence. The sources said that CM told such decisions ahead of by-elections will create disturbance in the party. CM even reportedly mentioned that things would fall their place if matter is tackled without aggressiveness, added sources.

What would high command do in case it comes to know the show cause notices decision was taken without taking into confidence the chief minister is the million dollar question now.  (Phani)
