End campaign: Jagan to supporters

The most vocoal among them,Minister for Women Development and Child Welfare Konda Surekha who threatened to quit if Jaganmohan was not made chief minister quietly attended office and did not wish to comment. Senior ministers like Anam Rama Narayana Reddy and others also kept to themselves.

The issue has been settled for good now and it is good for the state and politics, APCC president D Srinivas said.

But political observers say this would lead to an easy relationship between Chief Minister K Rosaiah and YSR-loyalists. Till now ministers who were openly making statements in favour of Jaganmohan were behaving arrogantly,confident that they will have their way. With Jaganmohan conceding,they have no choice but to fall in line but that will affect their relations with the CM Rosaiah who was tense but kept quiet in the face of the pro-Jagan campaign may not take it lying down anymore, a Congress leader said.

Some Congress leaders believe Jagan supporters would not keep quiet for long. It is a temporary setback for YSR loyalists but they will not keep quiet for too long. If not CMs post,they will ask for APCC presidents post for Jaganmohan, an APCC official said.
