CM Kiran Doing A 'YSR-Stunt' Now!

Chief Minister is adapting more and more ways of late CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy to make Congress victorious at any cost. His each and every step is remembrance of YSR's strategy before 2004 polls.

Not only he is showering gifts on people, he is following them to their homes to check how various government's welfare schemes are getting implemented.  At every colony he visits, at every house he graces, CM is received warmly and he too is promising them roads and facilities without any second thought. Scenes like people giving him coconunt water and thriving to shake their hands with him became a common sight like in Rajasekhara Reddy's 2004 'paada yatra'.

While a decision is yet to be made regarding using YSR's image, Kiran is using this as an option basing on the people around him. Most of the time, he is staying neutral about ex-CM though he is bashing out Jagan and TDP chief Chandrababu. Senior leaders of party are shocked with these crowd pulling stunts of Kiran and are worried if by chance Congress wins in these by-polls, he will get full credit.

Kiran Not Stopping Attacks On Botsa

Even after high-command doing a solid brain wash to Chief Minister Kiran Kumar, the splits developed are not gluing together. Attacks are becoming quite public these days, with Kiran getting more opportunities than others.

Government's 'Praja Padham' program intended for helping the poor and needy has become Kiran's platform to kick his rivals. Though he showered lot of offerings for backward communities, he concentrated a lot on attacking rivals carefully. 'While outsiders are trying to bifurcate state, insiders are trying harder to bifurcate Congress party', fumed Kiran indirectly venting his anger on Botsa and Deputy CM. These talks of Kiran show that the splits in the party in the name of Botsa, Deputy CM, Jana Reddy and K Keshava Rao are still alive.

Sources say that seniors are trying to trigger Delhi leaders for CM's indirect attack on Botsa gang. Whatever it is, 'Praja patham' became an election meeting rather finding the problems of people and solving them!

CM Kiran Showers Election-Gifts In Vizag

Chief Minister Kiran Kumar has taken a different route finally to convince the voters. Like they say, he hasn't stick to what party people are thinking, but showered gifts in his own style.

As part of 'PrajaPatham' program, CM Kiran reached Nakkapalli of Vizag district today and showered gifts on poor and backward communities. A 50 bed hospital, special school for fisherman's children and 50% reservations for them in many areas are some of the offerings. Three thousand gas connections are also part of CM's 'Pandora box' for poor. Kiran regretted for the plight of state which is getting elections within a gap of three months. He quipped that the muhurat he took oath as CM seems a bad one for this turmoil both in state and in Congress.

Observers feel that CM is using government's treasure to lure voters on to Congress' side. In the mean time, CM not only sweetened the mouths of poor but took his time to attack Jagan and Chandrababu.

TRP Raisers: CM Kiran, Botsa, Naidu, Jagan

Like what TV serials and game shows are for entertainment channels, these four leaders are for News Channels of Andhra Pradesh. They are mere TRP Raisers, says a report.

A survey conducted by a noted broadcasting analytics company revealed that Chief Minister Kiran Kumar and PCC Chief Botsa Satyanarayana are the top TRP generators. Following them are Jagan and Chandrababu Naidu. Say it a live news covering their speech or a mockery program with their cartoons or a discussion program about their future steps, the respective channels are commanding decent TRPs.

Kiran and Botsa are always food for ABN Channel, while NTV backs Chandrababu's work a lot and Sakshi needs no explanation. The survey reveals that these four are effective speakers with peculiar accent and diction in their language and satirical in terms of content. People like Shankar Rao, KK, Jana Reddy and even KCR shine here and there but never raked TRP's like those big four. But politicians are not for TRP generation, they are for forming policies in the welfare of state!
