backdrop of speculation that the party is trying to end factionalism

As Mr Reddy arrived in the capital, party leader and Rajya Sabha MP Chiranjeevi met Congress President Sonia Gandhi for over 30 minutes and confabulated over the political situation in the state.

Chiranjeevi, who belongs to the influential Kapu community, is of the view that Reddys, who supported the Congress for years have migrated with Jagan Reddy along with Dalits, and that only his community was supporting the party.

He is believed to have told the Congress chief that leaders from Kapu community should be given preference in party and the government. Chiranjeevi refused to talk about the meeting.

However, Kiran Reddy could not get an audience from Ms Gandhi till late in the night but held discussions with General Secretary in-charge Ghulam Nabi Azad and senior ministers AK Antony and P Chidambaram
