Ambiguity marks copy cat Naidu's Yatra

Amid allegations by various political parties that his 117-day ‘Meekosam Vastunna’ Padayatra is only aimed at regaining political power, the copycat TDP president N. Chandrababu Naidu continued his yatra on the second day on Wednesday in Ananthapuram district trying to know the people’s problems but without explaining how he will solve them.

On the first day of his Yatra, Naidu said his Yatra is aimed at exhorting people to rebel against the Government which has failed on all fronts.

On one hand, Naidu said he would try to know the people’s problems through his Yatra and on the other, he revealed his mind to lead the people to rebel against the Government. Though everyone would agree that this Government is a non-functioning Government, Naidu has failed to explain about the rebellion he has in mind.

Naidu no doubt took a leaf out of the late CM YSR’s book of Padayatra in embarking on his present power-mongering trip but the former chief minister has miserably failed to come out with proper solutions to the plethora of problems the state is pushed into.

What form of support will Naidu extend?

Reports have indicated that Naidu, on his second day, has promised people he would stand by the poor and his Yatra is aimed at doing justice to the poor. But he didn’t give any assurances on how he would stand by the poor and how his Yatra would do justice to them.

At one or two places, Naidu has said he was inspired by NTR and would introduce more welfare programmes if came to power but failed to spell out the welfare programmes he has in mind. 

YSRCP’s stand vindicated 

The first two days of Naidu’s Yatra has confirmed the assertions of YSRCP leaders that the former chief minister is only intending to regain the lost political power through his ‘Meekosam Vastunna’yatra as he failed to come out with any solution to the nagging problems the people are facing.
