The meaning of Ugadi prediction of pundit Santosh Kumar made at Ravindra Bharati has become the talk of the town. Santosh Kumar’s reciting Panchanga Shravanam at Ugadi celebrations organized by the government of Telangana had provided most sensational grist to the political pundits of the state.
Santosh Kumar painting rosy Durmukhi year for the state of Telangana and head of the government, said Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao would play key role in political affairs at the centre. ” Chief Minister Chandrasekhar Rao will play a key role at the centre, the financial position of the state will improve and river water disputes will end. There will be peace and tranquility in the state” he said much to the delight of rank and file of pink party.
If these problems are resolved, political observers say, there is no need for KCR to remain in the state. ” State finances and river water disputes are two major issues that are confronting the Telangana. Once they are resolved, peace and tranquility would be established. Administration of the state would be a smooth affair. Then KCR can pursue his desire, which has been lying dormant, of playing key a role in national politics,” a TRS leader said.
“There is no successor problem in Telangana Rashtra Samiti,” he said. After party’s resounding victory in Warangal Lok Sabha byelection, GHMC, and Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation election, which were fought under the supervision of KT Ramarao, the issue of successor has almost been settled in the party. After GHMC Elections, KCR daughter unambiguously said that KTR was the future CM.
“The intra-party hurdle is overcome. Outside the party, TDP has been decimated and Congress is struggling to survive. In the administration KTR has won the national attention. He is in touch with all the major IT and other industry majors. He is recognized as the second in command in the government. Foreign dignitaries started paying curtsy visits to KTR. It clearly show that KCR can leave for centre without bothering about the state government,” he elaborated.
In the light of this, if one reads the prediction of Pundit Santhosh Kumar, one can safely assume that chief minister KCR will move northward to join the union cabinet and play key role in New Delhi. In fact, during UPA -1 days, KCR wanted to become advisor of Sonia Gandhi by merging his party in Congress, if separate state was granted. Thad did not happen. Now, history seems to be presenting him with the same opportunity in a different form.
