Congress plans to remove CM Kiran Kumar Reddy from his post after the Rajya Sabha elections on February 7th. Sources in the AICC indicate that the Congress High Command is preparing to sack Reddy due to his silent protest in New Delhi not being viewed favorably by party leaders. A senior Congress leader hinted that Reddy will either resign on his own accord based on signals from party leadership or will be removed from his position. However, the party does not yet have a firm replacement candidate in mind and imposing President's rule is mentioned as a potential option if no suitable candidate emerges. Opposition parties have criticized this as another drama directed by the Congress high command.
