Chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddys new party is likely to take off in the month of December.Sources close to him told TOI that even though the CM still believes that he has the capacity to stall process of bifurcation, he is equally busy in mobilizing forces for his move to float a Seemandhra party in case his efforts fail. According to them,Kiran will wait for the defeat of T-resolution in the assembly and President Pranab Mukherjees response to the mood of the assembly before unveiling his party. Kiran allies indicated that he has been successful in persuading several ministers and MLAs who wanted to quit the Congress to join either the YSR Congress or Telugu Desam Party to wait till the defeat of the resolution in the assembly.
He is said to have got the assuranceof support from leaders of the striking employees associations, especially APNGOs, to float the new party with Seemandhra ideology.

Kiran confident of support
As part of this understanding, the employees, even though are likely to call off the general strike in about two to three days, are believed to have given an assurance to Kiran that they would keep the Seemandhra flame alive in some form or the other. Kiran is fully confident the he can stop the division of the state. If the T-resolution is defeated in the assembly, he would meet President Pranab and urge him to honor the will of the assembly and withhold his assent to the T bill. If the CM does not secure any assurance from the President, he would quit the Congress and Govt and announce his political programme, a minister who is closely associated with him in the Seemandhra movement, told TOI.
Among the cabinet ministers from the Seemandhra region, Kiran Kumar is said to be confident of getting the support of S Sailajanath (Anantapur dist), Erasu Pratap Reddy and TG Venkatesh (Kurnool), K Partha Sarathi ( Krishna), Pitani Satyanarayana (W Godavari ),Ganta Srinivasa Rao (Vizag), Kasu Venkata Krishan Reddy (Guntur) and Thota Narasimham (E Godavari).Among the senior leaders, JC Diwakar Reddy (Anantapur),Gade Venkata Reddy (Guntur) Rayapati Sambasiva Rao (Guntur),Ananta Venkatarami Reddy (Ananatapur ),Sabbam Hari (Vizag),Dharmana Prasada Rao ( Srikakulam) are expected to rally behind the CM when he goes his own way. It was because of the possibility of Kiran floating a new party that minister Earsu Pratap Reddy,MP A Venkatrami Reddy and former minister Dharamana Prasada Rao reportedly postponed their plans to join the YSR Congress till December.
According to the sources,the CM is also banking on the support of several MLAs. There are at least 50 MLAs who do not want to contest on Congress ticket in the Seemandhra region in 2014 and for whom there is no room in either the YSR Congress or the TDP.These legislators want a new party to come up and rescue them from being washed away by the wave of anti-Congress sentiment in the region, the minister said.
The CM camp believes that the general impression that YSR Congress chief Jaganmohan Reddy would move towards the Congress after 2014 and the TDPs mistake of giving letter of support to Telangana to the Centre would help enhance the image of Kiran Kumar Reddy among the Seemandhra public.
