Naidu proves perfect copy cat
Designed by Tollywood directors and writers, TDP Chief Chandrababu Naidu’s ‘Vastunna Meekosam’ Yatra has unabashedly proved the former chief minister is no doubt a copy cat.
First, he stole the idea of the late YSR with the sole aim of regaining his political power. Simultaneously, he also thought of beating the YSR record by fixing the schedule to 117 days and 2200 km to his Padayatra.
Next, on the second day of his Yatra, Naidu has declared his Yatra is meant to do social justice to people. This is a replica of the charmless slogan campaigned by mega star-turned-politician Chiranjeevi when he launched his now-extinct political party PRP.
The concept of ‘social justice’ is an abstract term which can be interpreted by leaders to their own convenience. People however accord high importance to these words as they succeed in raising hopes among people.
Not surprisingly, Naidu also failed like Chiranjeevi in explaining the true meaning of ‘social justice’ when he used these words before his Yatra gatherings. If Naidu doesn’t come out with his interpretation of ‘social justice’ during his long Yatra, he would go down in the history as a leader who not only copied the slogan from Chiranjeevi but he would also acquire notoriety as a leader following the footsteps of Chiranjeevi who in practice gave a different meaning to the concept by merging his party with the Congress.
Naidu asked his party activists and people during the Yatra to convey to at least ten others each that his Yatra is meant for rendering social justice to the poor. This is no doubt again a copy of the Chiru’s idea of helping three others and asking them to help three others each from his block buster movie ‘Stalin’.
Pro-united AP activists question Naidu
On the second day of his Yatra, Naidu faced the ire of the Samaikya Andhra activists who barged into his camp at Kolla Kuntla and raised slogans against him for submitting a pro-Telangana letter to the Centre.
Unable to respond to their slogans and their quires, am impatient Naidu asked them to go out and chastised the local leaders for letting them in. “People will beat you if you continue to raise such slogans,’ he told them.
