But that Chenna Reddy and many other Reds of TG are BC or SC.

Unnecessarily you are carrying them on your shoulders

Chenna reddy is oc same subcaste as ranga reddy and konda vishweswara reddy i think , only anjaih is hybrid between reddy and some b.c but he outright lied that he was bc to Indira Gandhi to get cm post.

I feel like many of them are not given proper public attention due to their short or staggered duration of their terms. Public thinks nothing about them, compared to CMs who had full uninterrupted term. They definitely could not do much thanks to high command excessive fingering.

 

Before YSR dominance, Congress (I) was disunited and full of various groups.

• Chenna Reddy
• Janardhan Reddy
• Vijayabhaskar Reddy
• Anjaiah
• Jalagam Vengal Rao
• Some other one I forgot

Were they better or worse than NTR, CBN, or YSR? 

That one article of Rajeev Gandhi insulting Anjaiah caught attention of AP public…. Even Ramoji did not imagine whats coming. Its like a super hit cinema that is 100000 x times Bahubali2 craze.

Cut cheesthe NtR became CM. Caste politics shuru. Yellow media rooted strongly into the minds of people. Ntr was killed using the same yellow media propaganda. CBN became Visionary overnight. The kommas who were just rich enough in 1980s became a power house of finance in AP.

Since then its all Media.

 Not in the true sense like Rayalaseema Reddy OCs. Almost all Telangana Reds looks like SCs. Their behaviour and lifestyle also resemble SC

For that to understand you have to understand how politica in New Delhi shaped up after 1947..

Only TN and West Bengal somewhat stood up to Indiras Hegemony.

Rest whole of India succumbed to Indira

 there are no rayalaseema and telangana reddies ,there are only subcastes of reddies ,the biggest subcastes are present in andhra and t.g.

Although there were  many subcastes that were included into the original reddy grouping after independence for political benefit ,it has nothing to do with telangana or andhra.

Not really it wasn't the only incident ,TDP was started by leaders from congress who were tired of Indira Gandhi's policies and meddling in local politics and NTR was chosen as a face for them which helped them a lot for media purposes,people were already tired of Indira Gandhi's Delhi rule and the congress leaders knew that the party was going to go down in andhra.

ntr himself didn't care about political benefit of caste ,he only cared about his image among people.

Most of the background work was done by these people ,ntr has no political experience ,how can he even do anything by himself , then dramoji rao and CBN came in slowly kicked them out of the party and formed a coterie of low iq brokers around ntr who were controlled by cbn and dramoji and started doing broker things and corruption increased multifold  ,slowly they even kicked ntr himself out of the party.

Vengal Rao and Kotla Vijaya Bhaskar Were replacement CM’s and like most other Congress’s CM’s, their tenure was short and often negotiated and their appointment was because of true formula by warring factions. Including PVNR, none of the CM’s were able to complete a full term until YSR.

Chenna Reddy and KBR, The reason I picked them was because of their stature and period. Chenna Reddy was later picked as Governor in states which has real serious problems, known for his admisrerial abilities. Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, had serious law and order problems and Chenna Reddy was appinted specially to set things right. And KBR, one of the lomgest serving and precises over one of the most turbulent era of state politics.

Chenna Reddy ranks ahead of all the CM’s 

Second, Kasu Brahmananda Reddy….Second longest serving. T-agitation was at its peak, tried to steer somehow and was instrumental in setting up defense research units in and around hyderabad including all those along old city-pahadisharif route and sainikpuri, HYDERABAD is now stepping up as a key defense manufacturing hub, thanks to all those units and at the same time, law and order was restored in Old city after these units were set up.

CBN…for another century, he will rank top from the bottom.

Bro u know what are trying to convey. Akkada Reds andharoo pedda thops ani.. reality yeentante these scum served the British Monarchs shamelessly to uphold their fuedal grip on the society so much so that any proposal that brings any good to people was trashed if it does not satisy their ego. Whole Rayalaseema history is evidence to what I am claiming.

But with Chows of Coastal the whole theme is different, they will get ready for any kind degradation if it brings money to them.

Both are same, just fuedal lords who replaced British Governor Generals

Almost all agricultural communities were given similar importance by British ,reddies,velamas,raajus,kammas,telagas and even some bc's in north andhra all were given similar powers.

Only Brahmins were given a different treatment ,before Britishers came Brahmins didn't own any land in T.N and karnataka except for some grants given by kings but after British they have become extremely wealthy and powerful.as most Brahmins could read and write owning to their profession and Brahmins who gained power continued to help their community.

Chenna reddy is no.1 in intelligence but kbr had more impact as he had a long tenure and was much more influential in national politics , indira Gandhi preferred to have strong leaders with strong mindset back then ,only after the congress split and powerful congress leaders betraying her she was insecure of promoting strong leaders ,KBR was one of the main people behind congress split.

Kbr probably had the most influence in congress out of any leader out of congress in telugu states , he was top 5 leaders in congress back then in the entire country.

They are forgotten because

1) they did not bring party to power/people did not elect them

2) They are just appointed by high command 

3) they could not make any decisions on their own nor take up any development activities hence
