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.
