The recent election scenario was a dramatic tale of twists and turns for the Telugu Desam party and just when people were thinking that it might well be losing its existence with key members walking away and joining the Praja Rajyam Party and Congress, they managed to bounce back and were also successful in forming a Grand Alliance (which didn’t work). Now, one episode has been the highlight of the election and that has been the presence of cine stalwarts and their campaigning. While on one end, there was megastar Chiranjeevi who jumped into active politics with his Praja Rajyam Party, the TDP roped in the Nandamuri big gun Balakrishna. After a lot of drama, even young tiger junior NTR joined the fray and that for a moment had spiked up the graphs of popularity for the TDP. Young tiger junior NTR has often been known for his high voltage emotional dialogues on the screen and they have enough ammunition to get the crowds to the theatres.

So he seems to have used something similar during the election canvassing when thousands gathered to have a look at him while he was rolling out his dialogues in full flow. The media projected him like a true successor to the legendary N T Rama Rao and in no time, junior became a demigod, thanks to the exaggeration from the news channels. Live coverages were provided to every speech of Junior NTR and experts started putting in high numbers for the Telugu Desam due to this. However, in no time, all those castles came down crashing to the ground once the election results were seen. The places where junior gave his speeches scored the least results for the Mahakootami and in no time, the same channels that termed him as the oxygen for TDP took the breath out of him and gave a realistic feel that reel life and real life are two different things. Even the likes of Balayya and Chiru failed to impress the crowds and it remains to be seen if folks like junior NTR, Balakrishna, Chiranjeevi have learnt their lessons from this or not.

Way back in the year 1983, the legendary N T Rama Rao created a landslide with his ‘Teluguvaadi Atma Gauravam’ concept but then it must be said that it was not only his charisma but also the resentment among the people over the languishing Congress government at that point of time. So if people like Chiru or Chandrababu expected that film glamour will fill their vote banks, then they have seen the outcome of it clearly now.

The election trends available from all parts of the state have come as a surprise for Telugu Desam president N Chandrababu Naidu. He is not able to decide whether he should cry or laugh over the outcome.

According to the trends available so far, Naidu’s party would end up with around 105-110 seats, as agaist 143-145 of the Congress. Even if the partners of grand alliance join him, Naidu cannot form the government as the tally comes to only 120. Even if begs and bargains with the Praja Rajyam Party, it is impossible to cross 140. So, Naidu would have to sit in the Opposition again.

On the other hand, the saving grace for Naidu is that his party’s strength has gone up by more than double in the assembly and he will be a more formidable opposition now. The Congress, with its razor thin majority cannot function at its whims and fancies. So, Naidu has at least some thing to cheer about!

The biggest setback in the elections is for Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhara Rao, who thought he would hold the key in the formation of the next government at the Centre as well as the state.

First of all, it is not the NDA, but the UPA, which is going to form the government at the Centre. So, there is no question of the TRS playing any role in the Centre. What is worse for KCR, he is trailing behind in his own Mahbubnagar constituency and even if he wins, it would be with very thin margin.

In the state, the TRS would be just crossing the double figure with great difficulty. And it is not Mahakutami, but the Congress which is going to form government in the state. What is more interesting is that the Congress has done much better than expected in Telangana, while Mahakutami’ s position is not so great. In fact, the alliance with the TRS had done more harm than good to the TDP in Telangana.

And with the UPA forming government at the Centre, the Telangana dream would be shattered completely!

Devender Goud is the man who transformed from powerful position to a begging stand with his foolish political moves. He walked out from TDP and started a new party Nava Telengana. He assumed that he has huge following in public and is just next to Chandrababu in fame or following.

But he understood that his NTP is not getting any mileage in public and hence joined PRP by merging his party completely into it. PRP gave him a Lok Sabha ticket from Malkajgiri and Assembly ticket from Ibrahimpatnam where he lost both. This has proved that Goud has no stand in his own constituency itself.

Since TDP also turned pro Telengana he has no other go than begging Naidu to take him back into TDP. Otherwise his political chapter gets closed for ever, opines a political leader.

“His biggest mistake in life is joining with Chiranjeevi. He would have gone back to TDP as and when it declared its positive bent for Telengana” said the leader.

It is anyway tough time for him to regain his political career.

Born as Lalita Rani in a middle class family in Rajahmudry in Andra Pradesh, actress Jaya Pradha was initiated into politics by Telegu Desam Party (TDP) former supremo N T Rama Rao in 1994.

She later broke away from him and joined the Chandrababu Naidu faction of the party. She was nominated to the Rajya Sabha representing Andhra Pradesh in 1996. fernandez

Following differences with party Supremo N. Chandrababu Naidu, she left TDP to join Samajwadi Party and contested from Rampur parliamentary Constituency in UP during the last General election in 2004 and got elected. In 2009 her candidature became a serious point of contention within the Samajwadi Party and brought Amar Singh and Azam Khan out in open conflict.

Jaya prada was subjected to a vicious public campaign, morphed naked pictures and CDs of her were distributed. She broke down on national television and admitted having contemplated suicide
Followers of Azam Khan had even filed a complaint with the police accusing Amar Sigh for prompting the politician turned actress to commit suicide, incase she loose the election.

With the strong grapevine that the talks have begun over a possible alliance between the Mahakootami and the Praja Rajyam Party, the media was keen on hearing what megastar Chiranjeevi had to say to this.

While he has dropped all curtains on it stating anything can be spoken once the results are out, he was quite negative about it. Chiru said that right now, the pillars of the Mahakootami look quite unstable with KCR going and joining hands with the BJP and the indications that the left parties might just drift away at the right time.
He also added that his confidence is still intact that PRP will surely get the single majority and the media to an extent were said to be surprised and slightly convinced with the words of Chiru.

The race for Andhra Pradesh’s Chief Ministerial post is now getting closer to the finish line with the triangular fight between Chief Minister YSR Reddy, Chandrababu Naidu and megastar Chiranjeevi getting exciting.

With the possibility of a hung assembly staring in their face, political parties are now going all out to woo allies.

While the BJP seems to have got a shot in the arm with Teangana Rashtra Samiti head K Chandreshakar Rao extending his party’s support to the NDA, the BJP is now trying to win back their former ally TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu.

TDP leader is counting on his political strategies to bail him out, wooing Prajarajyam chief Chiranjeevi being a part of that very strategy.

The megastar though is confident of getting majority on his own.

“It’s too early, I do not want to join anybody. I am confident that I will form my government,” he said.

TDP and Congress are wooing PRP, even as each claims they are confident of forming governments on their own strength.

The BJP, meanwhile, is trying to get back its winning coalition with the TDP.

As Andhra Pradesh gets closer to the counting day, groundwork for a nail-biting political mindgame is just being given the much-tested finishing touch.

Telugu Desam leader Kadiam Srihari has made light of the claim by Praja Rajyam president K. Chiranjeevi that his party would get majority and maintained that the seats of the four-party Grand Alliance would cross the magic figure.

Talking to reporters here on Sunday, he said PRP’s performance would be much below par the expectations of Mr. Chiranjeevi and the fledgling party would not bag more than 30 seats.

It was not in a position to secure even 10 seats in as many districts in Telangana, he added.

Mr. Srihari also denied speculation that TDP was trying to woo Praja Rajyam saying where was the need for it when GA would get majority. On the likely partners in a Telugu Desam-led government, he said the respective parties would decide whether they should be part of the coalition regime.

He also ruled out the possibility of the party supporting either NDA or UPA at the Centre. The party along with the Left was strengthening a non-Congress, non-BJP alternative .

In a reversal of roles, Telugu Desam Party (TDP) president N Chandrababu Naidu left for vacation and Praja Rajyam Party (PRP) president Chiranjeevi is conducting review meetings with party leaders. The seasoned politician that he is, it is unusual that Naidu has taken a break at a time when party leaders are worried over the TDP’s prospects in the elections.
Naidu, who is known for conducting a series of review meetings and tele-conferences with party leaders, left for foreign countries along with his family. After the two-phase elections, Naidu briefly reviewed the party position with his leaders. He took a break from his routine and wanted to take rest in an undisclosed foreign location.
Contrary to expectations, starturned politician Chiranjeevi opted to stay in the city. He is busy with review meetings with party leaders over the performance of the party in the elections.
The meetings will continue till May 15. Naidu, who is eyeing the Chief Minister’s ‘gaddi’, will return to the city on May 8 and might start his regular business of review meetings with district leaders from May 9.
Despite the talk that Naidu may play the ‘king-maker’ in national politics, he is away from the country, while, Chiranjeevi, who is expected to emerge as a ‘king-maker’ in State politics is busy conducting meetings.

The Telugu Desam chief, Mr N. Chandrababu Naidu, and the Praja Rajyam supremo, Mr Chiranjeevi, outdid the Communists in endorsing the cause of the working class on May
Day.
Both the leaders lavishly used Leftist jargon while addressing workers and trade unionists at their respective party
offices.
“Long live workers unity and trade unionism,” was the slogan mouthed by both the leaders to round off their speeches. It was a different take for these two leaders who had spent much of their time in the last few weeks castigating their political rivals on the campaign
trail.
On May Day they played trade union leaders to perfection by speaking about the travails of the working class, economic inequality and the need for redistribution of wealth.
Mr Naidu called upon the labourers across the world to wage a fight against the governments in unison to achieve their reasonable demands. Chiranjeevi also set up Karmika Rajyam, a front organisation of his party exclusively for labourers.
Interestingly, when Mr Naidu and Chiranjeevi tried to outdo Communist leaders with their revolutionary speeches, the CPI(M) state secretary, Mr B.V. Raghavulu, participated in May Day celebrations in his party office with his trademark white dress.
Meanwhile, the NTR Bhavan, the TD headquarters, looked bright with a new coat of yellow paint in which the party name was emblazoned in red letters, as if to advertise the party’s friendship with the Left.
The ruling Congress also celebrated May Day at Gandhi Bhavan with pomp and gaiety.
The PCC chief, Mr D. Srinivas, addressed pro-Congress unions and said it was the United Progressive Alliance government which implemented pro-working class policies in the
country.
Mr Naidu told mediapersons that land distribution to the poor would be his first priority after coming to power. “I will think about other schemes only after giving house sites to all the poor persons in the state,” he said.
