Like Union Ministers and MPs, state ministers too are said to be considering various options even as they too have differences of opinion on whether to continue the fight for Samaikyandhra or press for justice to Seemandhra.
From the mood prevailing among them, at least 10 ministers from Andhra-Rayalaseema are likely to continue with the Congress even if the State finally gets divided and their political future is jeopardised. This could be on account of their loyalty/long-standing association with the Congress or simply lack of opportunities in either the Telugu Desam or the YSRC.
