Vijayawada: TS Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao’s analysis that more voters favour the YSR Congress in AP at present has kicked off a storm.
Mr Rao had said in New Delhi on Thursday that the YSRC would get 45 per cent and TD get 43 per cent vote share if elections were to be held at present has not gone down well with the TD cadre in AP.
The TS Chief Minister had also predicted that the BJP has 2.6 per cent of the vote share while the Jana Sena, with a paltry 1 to 1.2 per cent vote share, won’t be able to make any impact in AP.
While Mr Rao’s analysis has left some of the top TD leaders in AP in a piquant position since they have to calm down worried party cadre, others feel that the comments were nothing but a well thought of plan to set the cat among the pigeons.
The analysis is nothing but mind-games, they feel and say that there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
However, the one thing they worry about is Mr Rao’s comment that the note-for-vote case is not closed, and his allegation that there was a conspiracy to destabilise Telangana administration.
Senior TD leaders are of the view that Mr Rao is playing mind games to disturb the administration in AP by providing information to the Delhi media. “It is nothing but an attempt to humiliate the TD cadres and to create confusion,” a Cabinet minister said.
TD leader and Krishna district urban TD president Buddha Venkanna demanded the TRS chief to disclose the source of his analysis. “It is not fair on the part of KCR to comment on the TD government, in the name of surveys,” Mr Venkanna said, alleging that Mr Rao and YSRC chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy have reached some hidden understanding.
