Kiran Kumar Reddy to break his golden silence today

Ever since the Congress came out with an announcement on the bifurcation of the state, Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy has remained confined to his so-called `Camp Residence' in Hyderabad and hardly ventures out except on one or two occasions.

He did not face the general public or the media since the July 30 announcement by the Congress Working Committee on the creation of Telangana state.

It's over a week since the Chief Minister came to the state Secretariat in Hyderabad to discharge his official duties.

The buzz is that with legislators from his own Congress party raising a demand for his resignation, in the backdrop of growing public outcry against the state's division, Kiran finds himself caught in a tight spot. He has virtually stopped doing any official work and had been spending time on political matters.

Kiran Reddy chose Thursday to break his silence on the issue. It is learnt that the CM is likely to address a press conference around 7 PM on Thursday.
