In that bizarre incident at Tirumala ghat road in 2004, Maoists blasted a land mine hurting the then Chief Minister Chandrababu, who was travelling in a bullet proof car. Using 'Alipiri' incident as a weapon, Naidu dissolved the government in the State even before their tenure was ended. Shockingly, people voted for YSR in the elections, making Naidu to sit in opposition for next 9 years.
A confident Chandrababu now started his by-poll campaign for 18 constituencies from the same place where that attack took place. Political observers feel that if at all 'sympathy' works, it would have worked then only. People got a clear notion now that Naidu is using 'Alipiri' weapon once again to garner sympathy and support to TDP. Will this work for him or will it fire his own back? Congress sleuths are saying Naidu started digging grave by switching 'Alipiri' card once again.
