Telugu Desam Party chief and Andhra Pradesh chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu is famous for and expert in "use and throw policy".
Right from cheating all late NTR family members, especially Harikrishna, Daggupati Venkateshwar Rao to Balakrishna, Junior NTR and more recently Harikrishna's daughter Suhasini, Nadiu used them for his selfish political interests and ditched them later after his purpose is served. The list of victims of Naidu's "use and throw" policy is endless.
The latest to join the list of Naidu's victims of "use and throw" policy are poor YSRCP MLAs, who defected into TDP, after Naidu lured them that they will get TDP Assembly tickets for 2019 polls, contracts and other 'favours' from TDP government.
Though there was no need for Naidu to admit YSRCP MLAs into TDP as he formed the government with absolute majority in 2014 Assembly polls in AP, Naidu engineered defections in YSRCP and admitted 21 MLAs into TDP.
At that time, Naidu is alleged to have offered up to Rs 30 crore each YSRCP MLA to join TDP.
Naidu believed that YSRCP will weaken with these defections. But five years down the line, Naidu realised that YSRCP got more strengthened and defections did not impact YSRCP as expected.
Now Naidu, who is expert in 'use and throw policy' devised a strategy to ditch YSRCP MLAs by denying them TDP Assembly tickets for upcoming polls.
For this, Naidu commissioned fake surveys which say that these YSRCP MLAs were non-performers and facing severe anti incumbency and will lose the polls.
Naidu's 'yellow media' has been highlighting these surveys and cooking up news stories that if tickets are given to these YSRCP MLAs, TDP will lose these seats.
Naidu reportedly told 21 YSRCP MLAs that he could give tickets at the most to 5 MLAs and left others in the lurch.
These poor YSRCP MLAs have now become "na ghar kaa, na ghat kaa".
One wonder how these YSRCP MLAs believed Naidu and joined TDP despite Naidu has stunning track record of "use and throw policy" in his four-decade political industry where human relations, ethics, values, sentiments, emotions, honesty, credibility, character, humanity have no place.
