The Andhra Pradesh Governor ESL Narasimhan has accepted the resignation of State Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy and requested the latter and his colleagues in the Council of Ministers to continue in office till alternative arrangements are made.
In a communiqué issued from the Governor's office a short while ago, it was informed that Kiran Kumar Reddy submitted his resignation to the Governor. While accepting the resignation with effect from February 19, he was asked to continue till alternative arrangements are made.
It is to be seen whether Kiran Kumar Reddy, who announced his move to resign as Chief Minister, MLA and from Congress Party in protest against the creation of separate state of Telangana would accept this request.
On Wednesday, he had requested the Governor to make alternative arrangements.
Given the current situation, and considerable acrimony between leaders of both the regions, forming a Government seems to be tough.
