TDP follows the Cong bandwagon !

Hello people,

The past week has seen something which was there all along but which people did not expect so soon. There have been instances of TDP leaders hinting at Telangana sentiment and how they would like to see the TDP too, talking about a separate State.

But then all that one saw, rather heard all along were hints. All that appeared to come to the fore with the by-elections with those elected openly saying that 'Yes, we were elected again because people were also convinced with our mode of development, while harping on a separate State'.

Prominent among the TDP leaders who have have appeared to voice their thoughts aloud are Politburo member and Medchal MLA T. Devender Goud and Kadian Srihari who was re-elected from Station Ghanpur.

And even as these 'netas' were going about expressing their thoughts, other TDP leaders took pot-shots at them, saying such leaders were 'free to leave' the TDP to pursue their agenda. Particularly, the way re-elected Secunderabad MLA, T. Srinivas Yadav, appeared to hint that there certainly was more to his words, than met the eye, or was it ears ?

All these slanging matches took place even as NCBN is busy with 'Meekosam' his non-stop public contact programme that is expected to cover as many of the State's 294 Assembly constituencies as possible. Analysts have expressed their doubts it the initial salvo from Srinivas Yadav was motivated or something like that.

People who have observed the TDP from close quarters certainly believe that no leader can talk like Mr. Yadav did, without some kind of authorisation from the Head Honcho himself, of course through leaders from the coastal regions, like Yanamala Ramakrishnudu.

All these slanging matches apart, the fact remains that the committee constituted by the party to check the pulse of the people, as far as Telangana was concerned, has met once after it was formed. Now the way the five-member committee goes about its business will certainly generate news.

All the best NCBN ! Let's hope the 'T' sentiment does not damage too many peoples' political careers.

Jai Telangana !
