Hyderabad: Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy, a YSR loyalist, was today sworn-in as Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, capping hectic political developments that saw the exit of K Rosaiah from the post as Congress prepared to face challenging times ahead in the state. Governor E S L Narasimhan administered the oath of office and secrecy only to 50-year-old Kiran Kumar Reddy, hitherto Speaker, who was chosen late last night as the leader of Congress Legislature Party in place of Rosaiah. The 77-year-old Congress veteran had made a surprise exit from the post yesterday in the midst of rebellion by YSR's son Jaganmohan Reddy. Jagan's media outlets had launched attacks on Sonia Gandhi and the party that had raised the hackles of the high command.
