Now PC’s stale and old political posturing of putting Telangana on the backburner is also not easy to chew. Congress is in doldrums because of Telangana. The manner in which Chidambaram declared in haste that a separate Telangana State would be created has become a bone in the throat of the Congress. If the party is to implement this announcement of PC then Andhra slips out of hand and if the new State is not created then too the party would lose in the State. Engaged in the task of mediation and political manoeuvring, Pranab has apprised both Sonia and Manmohan that it was because of the poor umpiring by PC that Congress could lose the match in Andhra. It goes without saying that vis-à-vis Chidambaram, the looks of both Sonia and Manmohan are
changing.
