AICC general secretary Ghulam Nabi Azad clarified on Sunday said that State Congress leaders were responsible for the news about PCC Chief Botsam and CM Kiran being changed and that the Congress high command had nothing to do with it. On the Telangana issue, he again sang the same old tune of more consultations being required and issued a veiled warning to the T-Congress leaders to stop blaming the high command. He said whoever blamed the high command were doing so “own their own accord”.

Azad seemed happy with the brain stroming session organised by MP V.Hanumantha Rao and said more meetings like that had to be held to improve the spirit of the caders. Chiranjeevi spoke at that meeting at length (can be seen in the video below) and said the Congress party in the state currently lacked coordination.
