I need not inform them,' was all Ramachandra Rao said when asked if he brought to the knowledge of Manmohan Singh and other leaders that a majority of party legislators want Jagan, an MP, as chief minister.

'I have full confidence that the high command will take an appropriate decision at an appropriate time,' said the Rajya Sabha member.

Gandhi continued the process of consultations with party MPs and senior leaders. Former central minister Renuka Chowdary and about a dozen MPs called on her Wednesday and held separate meetings.

K. Sambasiva Rao and R. Sambasiva Rao, who were among the MPs who met Gandhi, told reporters that they conveyed to the party president that Jagan alone could carry forward the vision of YSR. They hoped that the party would take a decision in a couple of days.

YSR and four others with him were killed when a helicopter carrying them from Hyderabad to Chittoor district Sep 2 crashed in the dense Nallamalla forests in Kurnool district.
