Buzz in political circles is that Chiranjeevi will be the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh and D Srinivas would be made chief minister of Telangana state within 180 days.
AICC leader Ghulam Nabi Azad declared that Telangana will be formed in 180 days from now. So, Cabinet might approve Telangana bill in the coming months. Congress is planning to use the services of Chiranjeevi and D Srinivas as chief ministers of the new states.
To form a government in Seemandhra, a party need to have 88 seats out of 175 seats. As Congress is having 97 seats at present and Kiran Kumar Reddy is not keen to be chief minister in the new state, Chiranjeevi willn't be facing any competition for the CM Chair.
On the other hand, Congress need to have at least 60 Assembly seats to form a government in the new Telangana state. But it had just 49 seats and the support of TRS is a must to achieve the magic figure. The merger/alliance will come into effect.
Congress wishes to face the 2014 general elections after the division of two states. The poll results will give a clarity on how far the master plan of Sonia Gandhi worked.
