It is a known fact that since India’s indepence only Congress party was there and many of the prominent opposition leaders have their leanings to Cong Party only. However due to differences they floated their own parties or joined other parties for greener pasteurs. Union Minister and State Cong Incharge Ghulam Nabi Azad who worked as youth congress president during 1977-78 revealed that Late CM YSR, former CM and TDP chief Chandra Babu and TRS chief KCR all worked in Congress.

Azad said during that time YSR used to be active member in youth congress while Chandra Babu used to be Youth Congress President for AP state and KCR used to be the secretary. He said Babu and KCR however came out and joined TDP. KCR came out of TDP due to differences over portfolio and floated TRS. What ever may be the intentions of Azad revealing these facts, it is true that he expects some reciprocation from both Babu and KCR.

Everyone knows that Cong is fighting a losing battle in the state and even TDP is in the same situation. Both of them need to tackle common enemy in form of YS.Jagan. In telangana region, KCR is going strong and without his support Cong can not expect to win even a single seat. It has to be seen how Babu and KCR react to Azad’s statements.

Ever since Jagan came out of Congress and floated his own party, allegations started flowing in that at one time or the other he will merge his party with Cong. His opponents claim that Jagan’s ultimate aim is to become the CM of AP and if Cong promises that post he will immediately disband his party. Even when Jagan was sent to jail, there were consultations during presidential polls with MIM leader Owaisi who is said to be close to Jagan and Cong turning mediator. The suspicions grew with Jagan in a interview with leading national channel outrightly ruled out the possibility of supporting BJP led NDA, thus revealing his true intentions.

The action of Cong is also not above suspicions as it is not taking any strong action against YSR supporters though many are advocating for stringent measures. Infact yesterday all the top brass attended the launch of YSR book organized by KVP and sang praises of the leader. Even YSRCP leader Vijayamma in her media interactions when specifically asked whether the party will support Cong, she did not rule out the possibility but just said that there is lot of time and decision can be taken as and when it arises. However she gave subtle hints as to what to come in future as she recollected the statement of Jagan that he won’t join hands with BJP. It has to be seen how people react to all this.

When ever telangana is referred to they invariably remember TRS and its chief KCR. Many might have fought for telangana but everyone will agree in unison that KCR is the main person to get national recognition for Telangana. However recent developments lead to suspicion that KCR himself is not for telangana. Many of his rivals on innumerous occasions alleged that KCR is not interested in the formation of Telananga but is interested in minting money by turning on and off the T-moment. Some others allege that KCR will turn Telananga into family fiefdom and will give the people of the region family rule which they detest.

During one week or so focus of National media is once again turned to Telagana and many political parties , T-MPs from Cong gave representation to PM Manmohan Singh. While meeting CPI, PM said there was no consensus on political parties regarding Telangana and the same was reiterated to T-MPs. Even TDP chief Chandra Babu is presently in Delhi, trying to gauge the mood of political parties on Telangana formation. When so much is happening one would expect KCR to be in thick of action. However he is seen no where, with even his predictions of T-Signals from Center turning false.

When media asked whether any developments can be expected on Telangana during his visit to Delhi, he calmly said that he is out to attend Parliament Session and not to discuss on Telangana. This shows that KCR is not for telangana.

YSR soul KVP.Ramachandra Rao who is having immense clout at Cong High Command is launching a book on YSR which includes a collection of YSR’s experiences during his landmark ‘Padayatra’ which bought back Cong to power bringing back lost glory to the party. Ever Since his sad demise, there were lot of political developments with Sonia forced to send YSR son Jagan packing to jail. However Jagan gained such immense popularity that he will win hands down even if he is in jail.

Congress dual policy of claiming YSR as their leader and his son as a corrupt traitor did not find any takers. It is still in dilemma as it paid heavy price by making its leader Shankar Rao file case against Jagan. Now even when some leaders like V.Hanumantha Rao and Dharmana Prasadarao advocated to erase the memories of YSR, its high command and most of the leaders including ministers are all set to attend the launch of YSR book which will surely ‘Book’ Cong.

Buzz is PM Manmohan read the invitation with keen interest and ministers Raghuveera Reddy, Anam Ramnarayana Reddy, Vatti Vasantha Kumar, Geetha Reddy, Sabita Indira Reddy, Viswaroop, Ponnala, Danam, Ahmadulla, Manikya Varaprasad who turned YSR baiters after his death will also be present at the launch. Sunitha LakshmaReddy, DK,Aruna will also make it to the function.

Congress’ old war horse V.Hanumantha Rao more popularly known as VH or Hanmanna seems to be waging a lone battle against YSR. This self proclaimed Sonia and Rahul loyalist is not bothered even if he is insulted by them. Many of his juniors were made CM while his BC candidature was thrown in dust bin by Sonia. However he is not unduly petrubed and says strengthening of the party in state is his top priority.

He says currently the party is in dire straits in AP and one should find out YSR and Jagan’s coverts in the party who are working against it. He is calling for brainstorming session but his desperate cries is falling in deaf ears of High Command. He is making all arrangements for the meet at Hyderabad even though his repeated requests and representations with CM Kiran and APCC chief Botsa for a time bound action against Jagan’s supporters is cold shouldered.

He is advocating for removal of YSR name from the party and stoppage of chanting of his name. He says any reference to YSR will ultimately help YSRCP getting free publicity. But many feel he is waging a losing battle as even high command and many of the leaders claiming YSR and his schemes as Cong Party leader and its brainchild. It has to be seen how successful VH will be in his attempts.

Everyone knows TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu is a keen strategist. Had it not been Telangana, he would have made optimum use of Cong weakness and by this time would have become CM of Andhra Pradesh. In the runup for 2014 assembly and Loksabha elections Babu struck chord by promising 100 party tickets to BCs thus igniting a discussion among various political parties. More recently he even went to Delhi to get the approval from various national parties on the issue. He is keen on reviving the dead Third Front to boost up his sagging political parties.

Babu’s maneuvors also found chord with state Cong leaders who feel that Babu would make better CM for AP as Cong has no chance of coming back to power. They in their private discussions feel that Babu won the hearts of BCs and even SC/STs in backward classes. They feel that Babu is a dynamic leader and AP will prosper under his leadership. Not only that Cong MPs Gutta Sukhender Reddy, Balaram Nayak, Komati Reddy Rajagopal Reddy met Babu in TDP office shocking all parties and political analysts.

Babu is making waves even though poll surveys predicted blank for him. Some Cong MPs feel that if TDP and Cong fight elections together, they will wipe out YSRCP of Jagan. However some say that in that case both will draw blank. However MPs are of the opinion that Babu is a fighter and even after so many set backs is fighting like a soldier with strong determination. They hail his moves of stemming the flow of BCs, SCs and STs towards YSR party.
