Confusion in BJP as Kishan Reddy, Eatala claim to be CM candidates

HYDERABAD:

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) central leadership may have thought changes in leadership will ensure peace but that does not seem to be working. Strong claims being made by the Union Minister for Tourism, Culture and Development of Northeast Region and new State unit chief G. Kishan Reddy and chairperson of the election management committee Eatala Rajender about being sounded by the central leaders as the potential Chief Ministerial candidates in the event of party winning the Assembly elections is causing much confusion in the ranks.

If party sources are to be believed, Mr. Kishan Reddy had been tipped by a senior central leader ahead of his appointment as the party chief for Telangana that he would be the Chief Ministerial candidate “Mr. Reddy was promised he will be made Chief Minister if the party is voted to power when he sounded about the change,” claimed party sources.
