You can tell the size of the man by the size of the thing that makes him mad. Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Nara Chandrababu Naidu thinks that he is in a class by himself. He has all along favored Pawan Kalyan because it was in his party’s best interest, but Naidu revealed his true stripes once he realized that the Jana Sena Chief is going against his government.
It is now known to everyone that Pawan Kalyan is continuously boosting morale of the proposed silent protest at the RK Beach for achieving the long-pending demand of Special Category Status (SCS)
As the protest is gaining momentum, Naidu’s insecurities are becoming loud. The TDP party chief targeting the actor turned politician said, “Do any of those speaking about SCS have any experience in administration? Have they worked at least as a Sarpanch of a village? Development would come to a standstill if we keep on fighting with the Centre”
While he definitely cannot risk to tarnish his government’s image, but isn’t Pawan Kalyan the same person who was sharing dais with the now PM and CM during the election campaign?
What experience does Nara Lokesh have? Why is Naidu planning to induct his son as MLC instead of making him elected representative? Isn’t Lokesh the guy who blamed Jagan for reduction of land prices in Amaravati? What experience does he have in administration? There are two TDP Union Ministers and yet Naidu compromised on SCS. Before questioning someone’s capability, a self-introspection is needed.
NTR despite being an actor, provided the first educated government to Andhra Pradesh with Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers as his ministers. TDP has now a DGP who says 26th January is Independence Day and a leader who says B.com has Physics. The CM doesn’t trust home grown civil engineers and brings in foreign architects but expects Nobel Prize from students. Moreover, he has been roping in movie directors for designing Amaravati and not the civil engineers who have the expertise.
Naidu should stop undervaluing opposition and overvaluing his party. If he ever tried to get the inside right, the outside would have never fallen apart. The CM has been given a cactus by the center but what is even more surprising is his choice to sit on it.
