HYDERABAD, JAN. 18. Resentment is brewing in the Congress over nominations to the State-owned corporations with several senior leaders expressing reservations over the choice of partymen for the posts. "They had promised that sacrifices made by leaders would be rewarded earlier. But they have gone back on it now by selecting those with individual loyalties. Experience has been given a go by," a Congress leader has remarked. While some of the long-standing Congressmen confronted the Chief Minister, Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, at his camp office on Tuesday morning seeking reasons for their exclusion, others watched the celebrations of the selected few at the Congress Legislature Party office with glum faces.
Some MLAs happy
Close observers of the party mulled over the reasons for some nominations when `better options' were available. The choice of candidates for important corporations which are the most sought after like the APSRTC and the Health and Medical Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation, has raised several eyebrows in the party. Congress MLAs from Karimnagar district are, however, happy over the choice of Gone Prakasha Rao as APSRTC chairman as he could be a foil for the TRS president, K. Chandrasekhara Rao, while the nomination of G. Rudraju is being defended on the ground that it is repayment of personal loyalty.
Problems in future
The choice of the chairmen for Andhra Pradesh Mineral Development Corporation (V. Narsinga Rao) and SAAP (M. Thakur) too has come in for criticism. Senior leaders feel that though some balancing act has been done in pleasing various groups, the long overdue exercise could create problems for the Chief Minister in future. "Perhaps those given the posts have not much potential to mischief, compared to those denied the posts now," a party leader has observed.
