Hyderabad, Nov 19: “Time and trouble will tame a wise statesman, but an arrogant politician is uncontrollable by any earthly force”
Once again, as his penchant for deadlines, Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao predicted the fall of Kiran Kumar Reddy Regime in 10-15 days.
This time around his Nostradamus act may not be inasmuch ugly as it appears or may not turn out to be as ridiculous as his earlier deadlines, for there are a good number of Congress legislators looking to cross fences or eager to convert their affiliations to secure their future.
The only factor that might make this latest prediction of KCR to turn out to be as grotesque as his earlier such numerous deadlines is that there are not enough fence sitters who wanted to face an immediate election in case the government falls. Hence, it is highly likely that the Government might survive the scare of no confidence motion.
To say that KCR sprang a surprise by doing another act of Nostradamus may not be without reason since the irrepressible lot within the Congress is far less to make up for numbers that would make it mandatory for a transfer of power, thus any attempt to oust the Government would only lead to an election. And, none, including the TDP, is prepared for it as any immediacy in polls would be perilous to every contender for power, owing to his/her own set of woes.
Talking about KCR’s penchant for deadlines, it is surprising that KCR, somehow, stopped setting deadlines on Telangana, the bread and butter issue of his politics, the catalyst agenda of his evolution as a politician and instead he began to set deadlines on the future of other parties and even on the survival of the governments. A unique change indicating how fast the politicians adapt to situations.
It is surprising or uncanny that not setting anymore deadlines have become a doctrinaire choice or forced option for him.
Or it appears so, for he knows the Congress would not toe his line on the statehood issue and it has firmly driven a point(or is it “Signal”) in no nonsensical way during his so called confabulations with its think tanks in New Delhi that he could not have the Telangana state on platter before 2014 Assembly elections. Or has he at last realized that there is a great risk in crying wolf one time too more?
On the sidelines of above deadline over the future of Kiran’s government, KCR also juxtaposed subtly some more messages like TRS is not an ‘obstructing association” to prevent anybody’s padayatra and BJP would continue in the TJAC as he is unclear as of now on his future plans vis-à-vis electoral understandings with other parties.
The statement that TRS will not prevent anybody’s Padayatra assumes significance, when YS Sharmila is all set to enter Telangana in a few days from now. Similarly his nod to allow BJP to continue to be part of TJAC assumes importance as not very long ago he anointed a communal tag to BJP and vowed to maintain a distance from it.
Is he designing a strategy to knit an alliance among the YSRCP, the BJP and the TRS? If that is the motif, it may practically prove to be futile exercise. The amalgamation of anti-Kiran or anti-congress forces doesn’t mean their absorption of agendas into one another. The YSR Congress has almost shaken its hands with Majlis-e-Ittehaadul Muslimeen. But he may be nursing an ambition to sail with the BJP, if the situation warrants and if the latter appears stronger in the days to come.
On the sidelines of the above, the Chieftain of TRS also embarked upon taming some elements among TJAC who nursed ambitions to tame KCR on running the affairs of Telangana movement. And he did tame them the way only he can do. In doing so he once again proved that he is the “Master” of Telangana politics and would not hesitate to crush uncompromisingly anyone who tries to replace him from that position.
KCR’s pronouncement that ‘nobody’s padayatra would be interrupted’ is seen more as a diktat handed out to Telangana JAC convener Prof M Kodandaram, who is badly bruised over his feeble attempt to protest the entry of CBN into Telangana region and also for trying to deal Telangana movement against the whims of KCR.
After his feeble attempt and KCR’s subtle message that TRS is not an “Obstructing Association”, Kodandaram would now remain silent and suffer in humility rather than to hold futile demonstrations before Telangana antagonists. In anticipation of the adherence to the orders of the vanguard of Telangana politics, poor Kodandaram is allowed or permitted to participate in the ‘Samarabheri’ meet at Suryapet on November 23 and ‘deeksha divas’ on November 29 as a gesture of superciliousness.
With one shrewd move, KCR made Kodandaram to be more apologetic than assertive and prevailed over him on who the boss is when it comes to championing the politics on Telangana issue. He sent a clear message to Kodandaram and his ilk in TJAC that he doesn’t need anybody to dictate him or impress upon him on how to deal with the politics of Telangana movement.
He might allow JACs and Kodandarams and other Telangana protagonists to announce agendas, but they would remain just customary pronouncements.
KCR did it in 12 years many a time and continues to do so uncompromisingly.
No earthly force can tame this arrogant politician.
