Political circles in Telugu States were stunned at Telangana CM K Chandrasekhara Rao’s bitterest attack ever on AP CM Chandrababu Naidu. Even the TDP leaders are surprised at this sudden outburst and they are busy finding out the actual strategy behind KCR’s more aggressive stand against CBN.

There are doubts whether KCR has already started his campaign war against Naidu for the 2019 elections which are just four to five months away. Again and again, KCR is saying he will give return gift to Naidu by playing his role in AP elections. Going by his latest attack, analysts say KCR is going to target Naidu more in coming days in order to help Opposition parties in AP get an edge in AP elections.

As of now, the Opposition parties including the BJP are unable to counter the ruling TDP on injustice to AP. Jagan and Pawan Kalyan are not able to effectively attack Naidu with regard to failures of the TDP government. They are also not able to take advantage of any anti-incumbency factor. KCR’s speeches may be aimed at maligning Naidu’s image and to weaken the TDP ahead of elections. KCR is also targetting Naidu at a personal, saying the latter is a dirty politician and not a true leader but just a manager.
