Vundavalli Arun Kumar was first known to the entire state of united Andhra Pradesh in the year 2004 only because of his closeness with YS Rajasekhara Reddy.
He was a bold politician, intelligent advocate and above all a straightforward articulator.
His boldness was seen when he attacked the Ramoji Rao's Margadarshi empire and exposed the unlawful aspects in it. His background as an advocate helped him a lot in his legal battle with the media baron. His straightforward articulation is seen at every point during his press meets.
He was also regarded as non corrupt politician in his constituency. At the same time, his constituency people point out that he did nothing considerable in his tenure and so he is good but not useful.
Majority people from his constituency say, "He is useful for his party head who ever he is, with his oratory skills in press meets. He will be useful for media with his entertaining articulation. Other than that he is not useful for people as a leader. He had won in the wave of YSR but he has no individual capacity in his area to win an election with his solo goodwill".
However, many accept the fact that Vundavalli Arun Kumar has contributed a lot in exposing the corruption during CBN reign between 2014 and 2019 in his series of press meets from Rajahmundry. The educated voters have got highly influenced by his speeches and developed hatred and anger on TDP.
But now suddenly he is seen changing the loyalties like MP Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju and Sabbam Hari.
He narrated a story of Nelson Mandela and expressed his expectation to see YS Jagan Mohana Reddy in the same style by not taking revenge on his opponents.
Apart from that when asked about MP Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju, he skipped saying that he cannot comment on him as he is his friend. Where is his straightforwardness? Why this nepotism?
He has also alleged that Andhra Pradesh government has failed in containing Corona cases. He should know that AP is rated as one of the top states in containing the virus.
Is he blind to the number of tests being performed in AP every day?
AP is taking utmost care of every quarantine patient and sending him back to home after the recovery with Rs 2000.
The system is sanitizing every street whenever it comes to know that a case has seen light in a particular area.
Vundavalli points out the arrests of JC and Atchan Naidu as revenge politics. Atchan Naidu is facing the charges of labor fund scam while JC is facing the charges of running 15 to 20 out dated buses with same registration number. Vundavalli should empathize with the pain of family members those lost the lives of their beloved ones in their bus accident.
Same is the issue with Nimagadda and AB Venkateswara Rao. Are they clean? One is sitting in secret meetings with BJP leaders in Park Hyatt hotel. One is known for tapping the phone calls and blackmailing, being in a responsible position.
Now it is clearly understood to everyone that why YS Jagan Mohana Reddy has kept Vundavalli away for all these years, despite his closeness with YSR.
It should be understood that either Vundavalli or Raghu Rama Krishnam Raju or Sabbam Hari are not close to YSR but the shadows of KVP Ramachandra Rao. They pretend to be YSR sympathizers but work for KVP.
