The former minister Shankar Rao, who earlier held Kiran sarkar responsible for the failure in by-polls, seems to have not ceased his attack on the CM. He now lashed lashed at Kiran Kumar Reddy for different reason. While everyone was regretting the decision taken during 2008, which apparently led to gas problem in the state, Shakar Rao was choosing to pin point at the current chief minister.

Shankar Rao has said that the present acute gas problems aroused in state only due to the inefficiency of Kiran Kumar Reddy. He has also said that it was not proper to hold petroleum minister Jaipal Reddy responsible over this. In order to cover up his faults, Kiran went to Delhi and politicized the issue, added Shankar Rao. Kiran Kumar Reddy is yet to respond to the statements made by Shankar Rao.
