Pawan Shatters YSR Congress Part
If
at all YS Rajasekhar Reddy would have acted smartly against
Chiranjeevi's Prajarajyam Party probably in the recent elections, YS
Jagan would have become the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. This
means, YSR Congress party and YS Jagan are paying the price for what YSR
did to PRP.
With 'YSR
Congress Hatao, Seemandhra Bachao' slogan, Pawan Kalyan came and
rescued both Telugu Desam and Bharatiya Janata Parties in Seemandhra as
well as in Telangana. Pawan's fearless attitude and speeches got
extensive coverage in the media and they have reached the public.
Pawan's whirlwind election campaign, his slogans, sensation comments
were the sole reasons of TDP and BJP victory in the elections.
Pawan's
charisma was proved as major leaders of YSRCP lost the elections and
wherein few lost their deposit too. For instances, YSRCP honorary
president Vijayamma losing Vizag Lok Sabha seat is the biggest storm in
the tea cup and Spokesperson Amabti Rambabu who has been the mouth piece
of YSRCP, faced a humiliating defeat. There is a huge list of leaders
who were humbled by the people with Pawan's effect. The loss did not
stop here, already newly elected MPs and few MLAs are looking at Telugu
Desam party and are getting ready to join too. Excluding Pawan's effect,
TDP proved its stamina in the municipal polls and now even ZPTC, MPTC
and corporators are readying themselves to change the party flag. This
can be merely called as being opportunist.
Indian
National Congress [INC] shortly called as Congress party has a history
of 125 years. Post Independence, Congress has ruled the country for
decades with small intervals in between. But then people always trusted
the Party for unknown reasons and the same happened in 2004. BJP led
NDA government which was in power, was humbled by Congress in the
general elections. With all the allies, Congress formed government in
the national level, AP and over the past decade, it was in government.
Till May
15th 2014, Congress had little hope that it would come into power for
the third time too. But on May 16th, when the election results were
announced, Congress was routed from the country and people's verdict
gave a tight slap, also made sure it could ever recover from a crisis
situation. Having won only 44 seats out of the 543, Congress was thrown
away from ten states where it could not even win one MP seat. Adding
fuel to the fire, Congress is facing tough challenge in the Parliament
to get the status of opposition. For any party to get the opposition
honor, it should get a minimum of 10 per cent seats on its own. With 44
seats, Congress lost the eligibility to qualify for the opposition and
is now wooing its allies to support to get the opposition status.
On this
note, Congress party is heard to be negotiating with YSR Congress party.
Congress wants to merge YSR Congress party with it which could ease its
tally and help in formation of opposition. YSRCP has won nine Lok Sabha
seats [One in Telangana, Khammam and the remaining in Seemandhra] and
with the merge, Congress number will be 53, one short off to get
opposition status. We hear from the reliable sources that Congress high
command has held discussions with YSRCP leadership but could not come to
a decision. The NDA government had information of Congress's proposal
to YSRCP and yesterday Prime Minister Narendra Modi passed this message
to Andhra Pradesh Telugu Desam MPs.
Though
TDP is not worried whether YSR Congress Party will merge with Congress
or not, it is closely observing the Congress's moves. Meanwhile YSRCP
which is claiming itself that they have lost the elections with a margin
of five lakhs votes, is estimating whether merging with Congress will
benefit the party or not. Nonetheless, Jagan is not in favor of merging
with Congress as he feels the party has insulted and betrayed him for
asking the Chief minister post after the death of the YSR. We should
also not forget that Pawan Kalyan had played a crucial role in keeping
YS Jagan out of power.
There
won't be any difference even if YSRCP merges with Congress, as people
are tired with its negligence. YSRCP atleast got opposition status where
as Congress is battling to get it. On the whole we can clear say Pawan
has ruined YSRCP chances of bagging the power while we can term it as
vengeance on YSR and Congress party who were behind PRP.
