AP heading towards President Rule?

Indications are that Andhra Pradesh is heading towards the President’s Rule very soon, in the wake of volatile political situation in the state.

One would get this feeling on seeing the face of Chief Minister K Rosaiah after he came out of the all-party meeting conducted by Home Minister P Chidambaram on Tuesday. In-charge Governor ESL Narasimhan, who is presently in Delhi, is understood to have submitted a report to the Home Ministry stating that the only way to bring normalcy in the state at present is to impose the President’s Rule.

Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen president Asaduddin Owaisi, too, suggested to Chidambaram at the meeting that President’s Rule should be imposed in order to restore normalcy in the state. He, however, did not spell out his stand stating that it would depend on the decision to be taken by the Centre.

A clear picture is likely to emerge in a day or two, depending on the law and order situation in the state.
