Communists in Andhra Pradesh seems to be losing the confidence of people. From the time of its inception they couldn’t make their presence felt in the state. To get support they started supporting the violent ways of maoists who used to kill innocent villagers in the name of police informers. They never used to leave even former maoists who had change of heart. Forgetting the fact that even a police constable come from poor family they used to detonate bombs, killing many attracting wrath of many. 

To gain power both CPI and CPM used to collectively take decisions and unitedly allign with either Congress of TDP according to the political situation. Even then they couldn’t increase their support base. The reasons could be in the name of helping poor these parties used to occupy lands owned by middle class people and hand it over to the poor, thus alienating them completely. Many times they voiced their opinion against majority hindus in support of religious conversions hurting their feelings. Even when YSR’s popularity was on high, just to gain some political mileage aligned with TDP, thus making even poorest of the poor move away from them. 

Its leaders like Narayana and Raghavulu seems to be fighting for personal benefits rather than win over the confidence of people. Many feel communists are hard to mend their ways and even after another two decades they will be following their principles blindly without realising the fact that Communist Govt’s in China and Russia rapidly changed their strategies and policies to move ahead beating other countries in the world.

One may like it or not but according to political analysts and people of telangana, TRS chief KCR is the chief architect of telangana movement. Many believe that he was the one who revived the dead separate state of Telangana movement. Many wonder why people of Telangana believe him and take his word as commandments and go to any extent to even give their lives. TRS Chief has been always in news and became popular for his vitrolic statements against people of other regions and forcing by elections making representatives of his party’s along with other parties to resign and increase his party’s tally in house of representatives. 

Many times he predicted a statement with in 3-9 months time only to be proven wrong. Still people rally behind him surprising his rivals and political analysts. But a close look at the parties present in telangana highlights the dilemma of people of telangana. All other parties present in the region have presence in other regions of the state of Andhra Pradesh and so they have to take care of the interests of those people also. This is not the case with TRS which is only for telangana and present in that region only. 

So KCR and his party can go hammer and tongs with his provocative statements caring nothing for other regions. This is the strength of KCR and TRS and people side with them as KCR don’t have any other place to go and if he cheats them, people believe that they can take care of him as happened during his fast unto death.

AP political scenario may be volatile and there may be lack of infrastructure and basic facilities in many departments. However some precociously talented few are bringing glory to Andhra Pradesh turning torch bearers for the state at the world’s greatest sporting arena ‘The Olympics’ at London. Though the performance of Indian Sportspersons doesn’t bring any cheer to the Country and millions of people, sports persons like Gagan Narang, Saina Nehwal, Jwala Gutta and Parupalli Kashyap did Country proud with their performance.

Gagan Narag shot bronze in shooting where Golden boy Abhinav Bindra from 2008 Olympics unfortunately failed to qualify to the finals. Saina Nehwal reached the semis of Badmintion and she has got all that in her to gun for gold. Parupalli Kashyap may have lost in quarters but he in reaching there created a record to become the first Indian to do so and in the process defeated high ranking opponents shocking badmintion fraternity. 

Jwala Gutta was unfortunate not to make it to the next round in women’s doubles in badminton but it was not due to lack of performance but due to Japanese players losing their math to Chinese Taipe. Sania Mirza along with Paes reached the quarters of mixed doubles in Tennis.One must salute this people, who are pride of Andhra Pradesh who in-spite of lack of proper infrastructure and facilities matched the world’s best talent.

For long many powerful political parties tried to erase and wipe out late Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh YS.Rajasekhar Reddy’s legacy from prints and electronic media. They felt that once his photos and name is done away with, schemes renamed, people will be erasing his name from their hearts and minds. THe ruling Congress Party which never allows to grow a leader beyond a certain level, tried to wipe him after his untimely death. It used all means, used wild allegations of corruption, leveled charges of quid pro quo conveniently distancing its ministers present in YSR’s cabinet from all his decisions. It even went to the extent of colluding with main opposition parties and others to change public opinion.

However much to the surprise of even experienced political analysts, YSR’s image and legacy forget about getting wiped out, is doubling like a phoenix. People, especially poor and downtrodden are unable to forget his schemes through which atleast one or two members of their family benefited. To the top of it, doing away with fees reimbursements, increasing powercuts, rise in kerosene, petrol and gas prices, rise in essential commodities, renaming of schemes introduced by YSR has not gone down well with the public. To the top of it all, the ill treatment meted out by the party to YSR family members made them red with anger.

Now top and experienced leaders of Congress Party are left wondering how to come to the terms of YSR’s legacy which has now become a ‘Brand’ and tackle it while opposition parties allege Congress colluding with YSR party.

The state of Andhra Pradesh, which is renowned as rice bowl of entire India is now reeling under power cuts. State of Andhra Pradesh which once used to supply power to their counterparts became so deplete of power that it started imposing power cuts. Though people of AP got used to power cuts in summer, this year they were in a shock as power cuts increased even at the start of rainy seasons.While the capital city of Hyderabad are treated to 3yrs of power cuts, villages are presented with 10 hrs of power cut. One wonder what answers the rulers of the state have to give to the farmers.

Farmers are at their wits end as to how to go ahead with farming. This time the state govt treated even entrepreneurs with utter disdain announcing power holiday two days a week. Many industries are on the verge of shutting down. When Govt is embroiled with all the problems and mainly power cuts, rulers are busy with their own ‘Power’ wars. All small and big leaders and self proclaiming leaders became Chief Minister aspirants and none started caring the Chief Minister.

Though people taught the ruling party by defeating in each and every by elections after it came to power during these 4yrs they are averse to take any corrective measures. It has to be seen what lesson and shocks people are going to present the ruling Congress Party during the next general elections.

Many across the word equate holy shrine of Lord Venkateswara at Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh, India to that of renowned Vatican Church in Italy. In terms of revenue and devotees thronging the shrines, Tirumala outscores Vatican in all aspects. However Tirumala is completely different from Vatican. While the Pope, revered across the globe by Christians has complete say in the State and religious matters along with the operations of Vatican Church, Tirumala is completely different. Right from top to bottom, TTD which oversees the temple functioning and other activities taken by the shrine functions according to the whims and fancies of the Govt with Hindu revered saints and groups not having any say what soever in the operations.

While Vatican prohibits non Christians and non believers entering its premises and tamper its activities, devotees and hindus will always be taken for a ride by the governing authorities and Govt ruling the state, with eye on vote banks. Non believers will have a field day everyday and even if anyone questions them, no action will be taken on them. Hurting the sentiments and beliefs of millions of devotees, the rulers try to dilute the temple authority over seven hills disturbing the sanctity of the place.Apart from the all the revenue generated by the devotees and staunch believers of Lord Venkateswara will be mercilessly used for Govt activities and others purposes which is not the case in Vatican. This calls for awakening in devotees who should voice their strongest possible views and opposition and get united driving home the point in a united fashion to protect Seven Hills and Sanctity of Tirumala.
