This seems to be the season of U-turns and the BJP, Chandrababu Naidu and KCR are leading from the front.
Former Telangana minister Mothkupalli Narasimhulu, who has been expelled from the Telugu Desam Party on disciplinary grounds a couple of months ago, seems to have finally found a platform to sustain his political career.
The Congress party has discovered a new word to attack the Telangana Rashtra Samithi leaders who have been making aggressive remarks against Congress bosses Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.
The Joint Action Committee of the various Kapu organisations has fixed yet another deadline to the Telugu Desam Party government in Andhra Pradesh headed by chief minister N Chadrababu Naidu to find a solution to the reservations to Kapus in education and employment.
There were reports in the past that YSR Congress party leadership reportedly asked its firebrand MLA from Nagari R K Roja to hold her tongue and maintain restraint while attacking the Telugu Desam Party in general and its president N Chandrababu Naidu in particular.
At the receiving end from various quarters for his frequent change of stance on important issues such as SCS, Kapu reservation etc, Chandrababu Naidu has hit back at detractors saying that he has taken a ‘right turn’ and not a U-turn.
Telugu Desam Party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is said to be suspecting the possibility of outbreak of a major law and order problem in the coming days to destabilise his government.
Former minister and Kapu strongman Mudragada Padmanabham, who had been strongly attacking the Telugu Desam Party and chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu all these days, is now faced with yet another rival YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy.
Telangana Congress party on Wednesday described chief minister K Chandrasekhar Rao as the most corrupt chief minister in the entire country and in terms of his affluence, his family can be compared to that of Ambanis and Adanis.
The Congress party does not want to lose any opportunity that would help it pull down the Telangana Rashtra Samithi from power in 2019 assembly elections, even it required forging an alliance with the Telangana unit of Telugu Desam Party.
After making his party leaders clarify the party’s stand on the Kapu reservations controversy for three days, YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy finally sought to put the records straight at Pithapuram public meeting, thereby undoing the damage his earlier statement at Jaggampeta had done.
With the demand for Kapu reservations once again snowballing into a major political issue following the recent statement by YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, power star and Jana Sena Party chief Pawan Kalyan has come under pressure to disclose his stand on the issue.
Lambasting Chandrababu Naidu, TDP and his friendly media for distorting his statement, YSR Congress President YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has resolutely said that he stands for reservations to Kapus and has announced a bounty for the communities welfare while the State Government has cheated them by going back on poll promises.
YS Jagan, Chandrababu Naidu, Mudragada Padmanabham and the Kapu reservations issue. Chandrababu had promised to give reservation to the Kapus in2014.
Every political party needs one specific issue as trump card for any election. In 2014, it was the separate state and Telangana pride against so-called Andhra domination that was KCR’s chief platform.
