Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Chandrababu Naidu will be inviting his Telangana counterpart to attend the foundation ceremony of Amaravathi.
Normally, one would say that he is just maintaining protocol by inviting K Chandrasekhar Rao and showing courtesy.
But given the strained relations between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh which were initiated by KCR, it will not come as a surprise if the majority of people in AP were to oppose KCR’s presence in their state.
It is KCR who is responsible for the Andhras having to build a new capital from scratch. KCR and his family resorted to the vilest and foulest language possible against the Andhras during the T-agitation and still continue to do so.
Statue of ‘Telugu Thalli’, the symbol of the Andhras was defaced and visiting faculty of professors from Andhra was manhandled in OU.
One can understand if the Telangana agitation was based on a need for self-determination. But it was based on the plank of hatred: hatred against the Andhras.
After accusing each other in the cash-for-vote scam and section 8 issues, KCR and Chandrababu might find the occasion apt to patch up and pursue their individual interests.
But the Andhras can never forgive KCR. And as CM of AP, Chandrababu would do well to recognize and honor this sentiment. But then, when has he ever respected public sentiment?
