KKR's Govt Is Stable: Rao

"The Kiran Kumar Reddy government will be stable for the remaining 3 years and no one needs to doubt it," said the minister for forests, environment, science and technology, Shatrucherla Vijayarama Rao, on Friday.

"The government will be stable and it will last for five years, and even beyond 2014," said the minister ,replying to a spate of questions at a press conference at the Secretariat on Friday.

Fielding a question, he was of the opinion that one cannot find a better government than the KKR governance. "Who can offer a better government?" he shot back. When journalists put forward Y S Jaganmohan Reddy's claim that he would offer a better government, the minister made light of this remark and maintained that the stormy petrel had himself said that he would be silent till 2014, and that he would not ‘interfere’ now.

Further, the minister sought to know if any legislator would attend Jaganmohan Reddy’s Visakhapatnam meeting. As YSR’s son, the Kadapa leader had bright chances, but Jagan, as an individual is distant from those 'bright chances', Vijayarama Rao said.

Referring to Sabbam Hari, the Congress MP supporting Jagan, the minister clarified that a solitary MP cannot pull down the central government. Continuing in the same vein, he recalled how the minister resigned from the P V Narasimha Rao government over an issue, and made it clear that PV’s government was not affected by his resignation.

The minister also ruled out the possibility of midterm elections in Andhra Pradesh.
