In the wake of the rumours that Panchayati Raj minister Jana Reddy was in chief minister's race and Congress high command would make him the CM, Jana Reddy said he never formed indulged in group politics for CM throne. He has also said that whatever posts he got so far were obtained only through confidence that high command had on him. In case anyone was unhappy with the work approach of CM or PCC chief, they (whosoever) should strive towards making them (CM and PCC chief) work better. It may be noted that CM visiting Delhi and meeting big wigs of Congress including Sonia Gandhi gave raise to many speculations that there would a leadership change in the state.

While a few apparently argued that CM was in Delhi to discuss electricity issues in the state, political observers cited Chiru's meeting with top leadership of Congress in Delhi to make their point. Will Congress high command really replace Kiran Kumar Reddy? If yes, then Chiru would get that post and not Jana Reddy, said political observers. Scores of megastar fans in the state would get disappointed in case there's a leadership change without Chiru adorning CM seat, opined observers. So, they said it's better for Congress to ask Kiran to continue as CM in case they can't make Chiru chief minister because already a large number of BC community people were upset that no BC leader was made the CM so far. And if Jana Reddy is made CM, they will obviously pin point at the caste politics in the state, added observers. One has to wait and watch as to what's going to happen in the state.
