With MIM MP Asaduddin Owaisi taking on the government for the second time after withdrawing support from UPA at the centre and to the Congress at the state, AICC in charge of AP affairs, Gulam Nabi Azad plunged into the action. He tried to get in touch with Azad and talk to him over the issues pertaining to the party. Mr. Asaduddin was, however, not available. This was confirmed by Gulam Nabi Azad himself.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Danam Nagender has said that MIM and Congress always went hand in hand and stressed that their alliance would continue. He admitted that some instances in the recent past hurt the sentiments of MIM leaders and said Congress was conducting talks over the same. On the other hand, Congress MP Vivek has alleged that it was due to Kiran Kumar's inefficiency that MIM withdrew its support and said Congress high command would change chief minister soon.

One has to wait and watch whether Congress high command would treat this as inefficiency of chief minister of inefficiency of AICC in charge of AP affairs.
