Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy, who is upset over the Telangana bill being passed by the Lok Sabha has resigned on Wednesday.
Mr. Reddy also said that he will be the caretaker Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh and he is on his way to meet the Governor to submit his resignation.
Earlier, Mr. Reddy is miffed that the AP Reorganisation Bill has been passed by the Lok Sabha and that the Centre is keen to push it through in Rajya Sabha also.
The sources close to him said, he might now wage a legal battle against the state’s bifurcation and the “undemocratic” manner in which the Centre went about the process.
Another version coming out from his camp is that Mr. Reddy may take a “break” from active politics for a couple of years till things cooled down and then chalk out his future course. He is expected to throw some light on his plans at the scheduled press conference.
The bill to carve out Telangana, the 29th state, by splitting Andhra Pradesh was passed on Tuesday by the Lok Sabha with Congress and BJP coming together on the issue.
