Telangana by-elections & Naidu’s selfish plans
Even if TDP wins in all 12 seats, it will not get into power till 2014 and though all the TDP seniors from Telangana are not inclined to contest in the by-elections, Naidu is hell-bent on contesting. What would Naidu accomplish from this ? What are his plans ?
It is no doubt that Naidu is a very shrewd politician. He has a very long foresight. His decision to contest can be understood from the threat posed to the Nara family (and its scion Lokesh) from Nandamuri dynasty and possible outcomes of Sri Krishna Committee.
It is clear that Naidu is loosing the grip on the party. Even though he carefully made marriage alliances with the Nandamuri family (by his son Lokesh & Jr. NTR), if TDP looses in 2014, for sure there will be a threat to take over the party by NTR family. Both NTR brothers, Balaya & Hari Krishna will be keen to take over. So there is no political space for his son Nara Lokesh.
On the other hand if Telangana forms and TDP becomes a national party then Naidu can accomodate himself & Lokesh at national level. Thats why even though there is opposition from TDP seemandhra politicians Naidu is not opposing Telangana officially. But then why is he going in for by-elections ? Here comes his shrewdness. He is using the present by-elections to implement the “one shot two birds” policy instead of his so called “two eyes” policy.
If the present status quo of A.P. is maintained, the TDP Telangana politicians (& Congress as well) will not have any more excuses to fool the people of Telangana. Already in both parties the Telangana politicians are discontent with their high commands (even though they don’t dare to express openly). It would become very difficult to handle that situation after Dec-2010. By contesting, Naidu wants to side line the seniors and encourage new comers by giving them tickets. He is meeting them directly in his home without the seniors from the region. He wants to get a new cadre for Telangana region. So that by 2014 he will have new breed of leaders that will dance to his tunes.
On the other hand if Telangana is formed, then TDP will be a National Party with Naidu becoming the high-command. In Telangana region, there are many seniors who will be in race for CM post (and no space for him or NTR clan). It may not be long when these seniors start defying the high-command. So, Naidu cannot have a puppet government in Telangana to protect the interests of his seemandhra politicians & businesses. In this case too it would be favorable for Naidu to wipe out the present seniors and nourish a new cadre, which would be repeated from time to time to keep a tap on the Telanganites from becoming key players (as done by his political mentor Ramoji Rao). Also, by making them to contest, he is sending a signal to his seemandhra friends that he is trying everything in his capacity to stall the formation of Telangana. In one shot (by-elections) he is taking on two birds (Telangana & Seemandhra politicians) for his own interest.
As such Naidu has no love either for Seemandhra or Telangana, except his own political agenda & his son’s career.
But, Telangana or No Telangana, the present TDP Telangana seniors will be suppressed and slowly marginalized . So if not for Telangana atleast for themselves, we should hope that the present TDP Telangana seniors wake up, stay united, and fight back at Naidu.
Thanks JT for sharing

Even if TRS wins all 12 seats ir does not establish that T sentiment is overwhelming. Even if TRS wins all 12 seats it does not mean they are the most preferred party in T.Even if TRS wins all 12 seats it does not guarantee the formation of T.
Only the 2014 elections will give a clear picture reg T.

@Surya, ab aaya oont pahad ke neeche. The election winning doesn't mean the party has acceptance of all the people and the same is losing the election. You and like minded kept questioning why TRS got less seats? for which we replied a zillion times. Now you say this has no relevance, good.
Let me remind you the T sentiment is people's sentiment NOT JUST of TRS or KCR. There might be people not voting fro TRS but there are 100% who vote for Telangana. The difference is TRSs 100% agenda is Telangana others have their own agenas as well beside T (as they claim to be).

DF Surya(Dear Friend Surya),
Even if TRS doesnt win all seats it doesnt make any difference to telangana.Even if TRS looses some seats ,it doesent make any harm to telangana.Even if TRS doesent win a single seat it will not make any difference to telangana,BECAUSE Telangana is already formed.the bye elections are a mere formality to fulfill constitutional obligation,that no areas should be left unrepresented, and not any indicator to some thing as u all are eagerly watching with mouths watering.
The year 2014 will see all disputes regarding water sharing ,demarcation of borders etc will subside , and full fledged telangana , a vibrant telangana in place ! jai telangana, jai jai telangana !!!!

I heard that most of the liquor shops in Telangana are owned by SA businessmen. There will be endless supply of liquor for this election. Lucky guys in those constituencies. They must thank kcr for arranging frequent elections.

Even if TRS wins, how can they bring Telangana.It is the congress which has the capability. Is it not better to vote for congress. Especially when DS has a chance to become CM of AP.

@Syed
Again you are wrong partially and right partially.
// TRSs 100% agenda is Telangana // totally wrong. Family comes first and then T.
//others have their own agenas as well beside T // absolutely right. Others will look at the state as a whole and will not have regional disparities.

@Surya, You are convinced that only KCR has a family, true brother, he has a very huge family, the WHOLE TELANGANA is HIS FAMILY. And he thinks for his family FIRST that is Telangana. Hail KCR, Hail TRS.
You are again right, others are STREET borns they have no family and they always poke their nose in others matters and make money. Good analysation believe me being Telanganite even we couldn't do such good analysis.
Jai Telangana.

Vinith,
During 2009 elections, Telangana congress leaders said only congress can give Telangana. But if you have seen the statements of Digvijay singh in 1st week of December; he said "Telangana people don't want Telangana anymore. TRS lost elections.". Whether you like it or not People in Delhi get the message only if TRS wins. They think Telangana support is directly proportional to TRS seats(margin). Congress leaders did the same in last 3 elections. See links below the statements before 2006, 2008, 2009 elections. After elections they keep quite.
in 2008(before elections): http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Hyderabad/Cong… http://www.hindu.com/2008/05/29/stories/200805295…
Here is a day after elecions:

in 2009 (before elections):
http://www.hindu.com/2009/04/02/stories/200904025…
This is what congress leaders said few days before Dec 9, 2009.
http://www.hindu.com/2009/11/29/stories/200911295…
If TRS loses even T-supporters in congress will become weaker and are isolated.

These Seemandhra on this site are not anti development. They are for development for themselves at the expense of others. These people are looting our resources.
Just one example how Seemandhra is looting us. I feel our AP govt should go bankrupt so that no one gets anything like this.
"Of the Rs 801-crore compensation the Agricultural Insurance Company paid farmers this week, Anantapur received the maximum share of Rs 600 crore, followed by Kadapa at Rs 121 crore."

Every year we are paying these people money in the name of Insurance.
Of the Rs 801-crore compensation the Agricultural Insurance Company paid farmers this week, Anantapur received the maximum share of Rs 600 crore, followed by Kadapa at Rs 121 crore.
“Groundnut crop, grown mainly in Anantapur district, failed that year, while all other major crops fared very well. As a result, the farmers in Anantapur received the major part of the compensation, while those in other parts secured none,” he said.
