AP without YSR !!

It's one year after sudden and shocking death of the then Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhar Reddy. For the past one year, lot of incidents happened which affected the overall state's unity badly. I am neither a fan of YSR nor a congress party supporter, but I (and many people in the stae) think that the things wouldn't be like this if he were alive. In fact, after his death only I came to know how people loved him. There may be certain accusations on him like any other political leader, but what people see him as the leader who proposed and provided pro-poor schemes. One among them is Rajeev Arogyasree, through which some of my known lower middle class people also got benefited. Governments should concentrate on poor and lower middle class people mainly and that's what he did and won many hearts in the state. He didn't even bother when 'reel-hero' Chiranjeevi entered politics, as he knows the only other opposition leader is Chandra Babu Naidu.

Unfortunately again the nominated CMs era started with the present CM Rosaiah. He may get the blessings of 'high command' but I doubt whether he can win a single constituency. Rosaiah lacks some key leadership qualities like decision making, ability to motivate and attract/inspire people. He may have lot of experience but for a good leader especially for a CM, strong determination and decicision making etc. are required and he can pick up the right team (esp. IAS officers and also cabinet). For key issues like Telangana statehood etc. he may have limitations to depend on high command but for each and every issue, approaching high command shows his weakness. More over, he and some of the foxes (some of them were loyal to YSR while he was alive) in the party always concentrate on Jagan's 'Odarpu Yatra' and preparing reports on it. They don't bother if Telanga activists attack lecturers, disrupt normal life of common man. Their only worry is whether YSR's son would become threat for their power. They have the strong support from anti-Congress news papers like Eenadu.

Overall, because of these opportunists, we may lose the big united Telugu state soon. Already Osmania University became hub for all politics and some anti-social elements. At least, I hope former CM Chandra Babu Naidu should come back to power next time to do something to suppress this non-ending agitations and keep the state united. And of course, it helps to teach a lesson to the egoistic Congress High Command who tries to keep 'obedient' people who don't have people's mandate. His comeback may be required for getting good shape to Hyderabad city again.

P.S. The below link shows how YSR used to scold the provocative remarks of KCR to divide Telugus and even on Telugu Thalli for his political benefits. He and he only could do that so bravely.
