The Fading-Fasting Politics

Looks like YSR Congress party is angry with all the sections of the society – from Press to Common Man. Reason – they are not caring for the fast being done by Y S Jagan. Why people are not interested in the Fast of Jagan is a different question. But the real question is what the use of Fast is? And are there any incidents in the recent past where fasting by the politicians yielded any results, at least even electoral benefits?  Read more >>

YSRCP's Negative Politics vs Pwan Kalyan's Positive Politics

YSRCP called for Andhra Pradesh bandh on August 29th. This comes when there are some reports of people committing suicide on no Special Status to the state. As a responsible opposition YSRCP should have appeal to the people to not get emotional just like what Pawan Kalyan is doing. Instead of  that YSRCP is playing a negative politics.

Couple of weeks ago, they politicised the land-pooling done in the capital region. YSRCP went on to say that if it comes to power, they will return the lands back to the people. They should understand that 90% of the people volunteered to give the lands to the government and the land is not acquired by the government. When majority people are volunteering to give the lands YSRCP took the minority people's, who don't want to give lands,  opinion as the opinion of the all the people and took the stance of anti-Capital Construction Instead, it should have fought for the minority group of people and try to get more compensation from the government. Is this not the negative politics? Compare this with what Pawan Kalyan has done. He supported the land-pooling and fought against land acquisition. He appealed to the government to have a discussion with non-willing farmers and make them agree. After this, 300 acres of land is given as part of land-pooling. This is the way politics should be done - for the interest of the people not for the interest of the party. When that is done, people will lap the leaders. If politics are done YSRCP way, people will keep them at a distance.

The Vasthu Frenzy

The hot topic of discussion in Telugu Nadu (the states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana) is not about Swine Flu or the Farmers suicides or the cash-crunch Andhra. The hot topic of discussion is Vasthu. And the reason why the topic was spurt upon is the decision of Telangana government to move the State Secretariat to Erragadda. CM KCR himself said that the existing Secretariat has Horrible Vasthu non-compliance. Well, let’s not discuss on the financial implications of the decision as that is already widely discussed.

By declaring about ‘Horrible Vasthu’, CM KCR has given much needed support to Vasthu preachers. As said in the movie OMG, these Vasthu preachers are similar to terrorists. They terrorise you saying that something very bad is going to happen. Now, CM KCR also got ‘terrified’ with the ‘Horrible Vasthu’ of Secretariat. Believing Vasthu or not is a personal decision. No one questions that. But State Secretariat is a public property and the government is just a guardian of the public property – not the owner of it. State Secretariat is not KCR’s personal property. If there is a valid reason for moving Secretariat, the reason should be put forward for discussion in Assembly and a consensual decision has to be taken. Just taking decisions with Vasthu in mind only attracts sarcasm from general public.
