For those residing in AP, these are well known facts and are anxious to see the drama unfold.This is a very crisp yet detailed and lucid essay for Andhras abroad to understand the politics sourrounding Chiru .
1.It is Family members trying to gain milage through Brand Chiru.
2.There is no politics without understanding caste politics.Chiru camp will use the caste card as well.But will have to tread a cautious path to not to distance the other castes.
3.There is no anti incumbency this time;But yes, there are communities sidelined even in the "free-for- all" curruption regime.This is the time for that section of society to rise to power and to rein on the domineering ones.
4.Political brigades accross parties will rally behind a star but not when the star turns into a politician.So there is this curiousity-is Chiru the next CM or not? - common man looks forward for the drama.
5.Telengana is an important issue.Will he come out with his standing on the issue or dodge like the other parties. If only TDP had reasonable number of seats and spread accross both parts of the state, TDP could have come out with seperate state issue.Babu who has been aiming for national politics would have gone ahead with his plan with more federal states!But now Chiru is a threatening force and thus he is desparate to rope him in. But can he offer the CM post now!? can they togather come out with the Telangana state issue!?
Big drama ahead.
