The Andhra Pradesh is witnessing the ugliest war, everything for politics. The TDP, which had faced humiliating defeat in the 2019 general elections and is doing everything to dishonour the peoples’ mandate.
It started with the leaders and people of one caste, associated with the TDP, refused to accept the peoples’ mandate. They began to wonder how the TDP was defeated. They never tried to go deeper and find out the reasons for their defeat.
There was one voice, from one caste and one party, - how could you (Chandrababu) lose (power)? They refused to accept the mandate given to Jagan Mohan Reddy and they hurl abuses at the chief minister, in a most derogatory way, which never happened to any of the chief ministers. This shows how assertive the caste was and how assertive the TDP was in the state, particularly after bifurcation.
Now, it is Amaravati for everything. The TDP rallies against the government. The dominant caste rallies against the government opposing the move to shift the capital from Amaravati.
It is a fact that the people of this enterprising caste have invested a lot in Amaravati for two reasons – to make their leader (Chandrababu Naidu) a successful and visionary and to make best benefits out of the proposed capital.
There is unrest in the caste that they were shunted out of Hyderabad and have no place to lay their hands. This unrest had also created a sense of competitive sprit among them to have an immediate alternative to Hyderabad. It is for this reason, they have invested in Amaravati, purchasing lands, purchasing plots and purchasing bonds.
They even raised emotions of the people and created mania among people to donate for bricks to build the new city. If the capital is moved, then they are the losers for which they are not ready. Having lost Hyderabad, they are not ready to lose Amaravati, a city that was never built on the ground.
The caste-owned media rallies against the government. The media comes out with special stories, special coverage to protect the interests of the caste.
The print media dedicates its pages and columns to spread hatred against government and love for Amaravati.
The electronic media dedicates hours of its air time to promote debate, discussions and the so called protests being held across the state.
Now, turning the ugliest side of the war, they are launching a battle against Jagan Mohan Reddy to turn him anti-Hindu.
They have planned a rally from various places to Kanaka Durga temple in the city to offer prayers to deity in favour of Amaravati. Obviously the police have denied permission for such a protest rally, which no government allows.
The denial of permission for this protest rally is now being projected as anti-Hindu and Jagan Mohan Reddy is promoting Christianity, which is not relevant in this Amaravati protest.
The leaders of the caste and the party, would stoop down to any level, use any sentiment and any reason, spread pack of lies, to protect their interests in Amaravati, which is the world’s biggest real estate venture.
