Chandra Babu Naidu Indefinite Hunger Strike

Chandra Babu Naidu Indefinite Hunger Strike

The Telugu Desam Party President Chandra Babu Naidu is going on indefinite hunger strike from 7th onwards at Delhi.  He talked to the media representatives at his residence on Friday.  

Chandra Babu said that the people of Seemandhra are protesting for the last 65 days and Congress party is showing apathy for an agitation that size and long from all walks of life.  

He finds fault with the Congress party that is not all making any attempt to call the agitating people’s representatives to know the reasons for their protests.  He questioned how the people will confide in the Congress party which even is not calling to know the facts from the mouth of the agitating people. 

 

Chandra Babu said that the Congress party is ignoring people and believing only match fixings with KCR an Jagan.  

He recalls that in the past the State divisions took 3 to 4 months to complete.  Now Congress party says that the process will be done in 40 days.  Chandra Babu asks what is the hurry if it is not for a political gain.  

Chandrababu said that Jagan previously wrote to Congress party that the division should be done as per article of the Constitution and Congress party followed it.  Now Jagan is singing Samaikya raga.  No body blames Sonia Gandhi.  Every one criticizes me as I wanted a thorough discussion on the issue.  He asked whether Sonia Gandhi is taking the right path.

Chandrababu also explained that at the time Telangana agitation, the movement was going on and so he did not comment on that.  Now as the decision is taken for the bifurcation of the State he is talking about the consequences of it.  

Chandrababu expressed his sorrow for the double game politics being played by the Congress party.  He said that a letter was given in favor of the Telangana when the people of Telangana wanted it.  He is blamed for giving such a letter by the Congress party leaders of Seemandhra and the letter is mentioned here but they say that I am becoming obstruction for the process of the formation of Telangana state.  He said that it is only double standard game played by the congress party.  

Congress Does Not Care About YSRCP Jagan

Congress Does Not Care About YSRCP Jagan

The events of the past month has shown Jagan in a very bad light, though he hasn't stepped outside his confinement. After amassing immense wealth and gaining the sympathy of naive commoners, the leader is losing steam. With Congress treating YSRCP as a thorn in the state, his troubles have become an ocean.

Jagan's strongest supporters until now have visibly turned against him. Konda Surekha threw trash at him following her resignation from the party. She accused him of running after money and not respecting party members. Several other MLAs have also abandoned the ship. Is the party sinking?

Congress will announce its plan for Andhra Pradesh today. Everyone is waiting with bated breath to see what would become of Ananthapur and Kurnool, where Jagan has confident support. The Centre is planning squash the YSRCP plant in the bud by dividing Rayalaseema. If his stronghold is divided, there is little chance of a positive development in this one year. By this time next year, there would be another state in India, carved out of Andhra Pradesh.

It is clear that the Center's decision on a separate state would create chaos in AP, besides the ensuing political instability. A need for a new capital and legislation takes first priority. Still, Congress does not care about YSRCP or its leader Jagan.

Padayatara Special

Padayatara Special: Politicking Wishesh 

Namaskaram andi!

Hope you are enjoying your special exclusive from Wishesh.  This is just to bring out the lighter side of the issue while no harm is intended to anyone. This section includes gossips from the grapevine for reader enrichment. In today's columns we shall discuss about Padayatra political saga for garnering public vote, various thoughts expressed by leaders on the ongoing trends.  Do send in your comments or criticism for us to give you the best..............(Wishesh AarKay)  

History of Padayatra: Probably Padayatra or walkathon's started long ago, but those days they were part of human life as an efficient mode of transport was not available. But now a days it has become a way to enlighten public and to assure them of ones availability. Those days due to lack of proper transport they used to walk, but these days our leaders walk as their air conditioned, well-equipped vehicles follow them enroute.

TDP doyen and founder N T Ramarao, was the known modern leader who started this mass contact program of reaching the public with his bus yatra in the early 80's and that made him the first non-congress Chief Minister to rule the state in 1983.

Then we had the late Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy who embarked on a walkathon in 2003 covered 1475 km during hot summers covering 33 constituencies. The event Prasthanam, reinstated Congress in power after a long gap in 2004. and since then has been ruling the state.

And now our TDP supremo N Chandrababu Naidu embarked on Vastunna Mee Kosam and has successfully gone past YSR by completing 1500kms covering 40 constituencies. Babu wanted to enlighten the corrupt practices of the ruling party that had led to the downfall of the state in amny ways.

On the other hand YSR's daughter, Sharmila also went on a Padayatra, 'Maro Prasthanam' but had to cut short the journey due to an injury. Sharmila wanted to highlight the ways her brother was detained on vindictive stances by the ruling party hand-in-glove with the opposition.

The irony was that a 60+ old veteran with all complications like diabetes and BP is able to walk healthy and cover 1500 kms while a young woman who was hale and healthy had cut short her walkathon citing injury. Anyways we have to move on to discuss what the leaders are feeling about these yatras.

Babu's Padayatra is just for records: YSRCP MLA, Gadikota Srikanth Reddy expressed that Babu's padayatra was only for records. He also criticized the senior leader for embarking on a 'morning walk' type walkathon. If Babu's walk is as the leader describes than what should Sharmila's yatra be called as?

No-crowd Padayatra: Congress chief whip Gandra Venkataramana Reddy claimed that Babu's padayatra was a n-crowd padayatra. While in reality media images revealed large gatherings at each of the meetings of the veteran enroute. The Congress leader adds that the party activists are struggling to bring in crowds. He also claimed that Babu's event was mainly to avoid many political embarrassing situations, for which he had no answer and divert public attention.

On the whole, at the moment Babu has bettered all records and is leading all the way. However in comparison to the salient points that were achieved by YSR and Babu while in rule, the former had opted for people's welfare while the later opted for infrastructure development (http://www.andhrawishesh.com/home/hot-buzz/36366-babu-becomes-maha-netha-.html). 

Both were right and visionaries, in their own perspective. Hope we get the next leader who is a right blend of these two stalwarts.
