Even though Kodandaram had not have any plans to contest polls, he now seems to have changed his mind upon persistent pressure from his party leaders and leaders from Maha Kutami. As per the latest reports, Kodandaram is toying with the idea of contesting from Ramagundam Assembly constituency in Peddapalli district, i.e in erstwhile Karimnagar district.

While the original plan was to stay away from contesting the election and to campaign for the candidates of grand alliance in all the constituencies to aid their victory, however, the plan has been changed. Unless Kodandaram drops his fresh plan, it is most likely confirmed that he would be in fray from Ramagundam.

Given his individual stature and following among students and people, it is expected that he would emerge victorious. TJS, TDP, CPI along with Congress are turning into headache for KCR. Let’s wait and see, what’s in store.

When it comes to politics, enemy’s enemy is a friend. This was proved in the past on several occasions. However, strangely, TRS and BJP are not getting along in Telangana. And there are strong reasons.

Although KCR wanted friendship with BJP to play key role at the Centre, neither Modi nor Amit Shah have trust on KCR. Especially, after KCR cheated Congress, both Modi and Amit Shah doesn’t want to go along with the TRS.

In addition to the above, KCR’s friendship with MIM is a strong reason why BJP doesn’t want to ally with TRS. Although there seems to be a secret pact between TRS and BJP in order to stop Congress’ rise in Telangana thus to obstruct its victory in Lok Sabha elections.

While TRS and BJP has a political compulsion to unite but looking at KCR’s track-record, BJP is unlikely to have a pre-poll tie-up in Assembly polls and it is mulling over a pre-poll alliance or a post-poll tie-up if at Lok Sabha polls if it all TRS wins in Assembly polls.

At a time when AP Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu is projecting the state as the most progressive state in the country, Jana Sena Chief Pawan Kalyan is politicising everything without giving two hoots about his responsibility as a leader of political party. One such incident that Pawan highlighted was about how the road near Polavaram caved in, due to rock explosions carried out in the vicinity.

This caught the attention of the Jana Sena Chief who tweeted a video and said: “I hope Hon. CM Sri. CBN garu’s real time governance has noticed how a road of one kilometre near Polavaram Project had split as if some earthquake occurred. Please give a clarity to people why it happened.”

In this jibe against Chandrababu, Pawan mocked his real-time governance. However, TDP supporters and followers were quick to clarify to Pawan that the road was re-built in 4 hours. While the government issued a clarification that there no reason to panic, Pawan’s tweet mentioned “earthquake” which has mislead a lot of people into believing that the Polavaram project is being constructed in an “unsafe zone.”

Meanwhile, Chandrababu Naidu tweeted a clarification stating: “The road caved in because of lack of moisture content in the soil in the region. Officials have investigated and have clarified that there is no need to panic. The region is safe from earthquakes.”

It is important for Pawan and his followers to understand that the area where the cracks developed comes under Zone 2 in the categories of zones in safety manual. Zone 2 is considered as one of the safest zones in India, according to the book “Fundamentals of Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering.” May be, Pawan could read that book too since he is fond of reading!
