Cbn: The Hunted And Nearly Cornered Lamb

[Khadgam]

Hyderabad: “A leader is one who knows the way, goes the way, and shows the way”.

Even as the party leaders from Seemandhra demanded that he press for keeping the State united while their Telangana counterparts contended that he should stick to the earlier communication of the party to the centre on Telangana, Chandrababu appeared to have unable to shed his ambivalence on Telangana statehood issue.

In a letter written to the PM, he took pains to explain that his stand was consistent on the Telangana issue that he is in favour of Telangana but at the same time, is committed to the overall development for rendering equitable justice to the people of all regions, but not before without saying in as many words on his eternal ambivalence on the issue, he has demanded that the Centre press the ‘pause button’ on State bifurcation process until all concerns of Seemandhra are addressed.

CBN appears to be living at a location between the worlds, a place where paranormal events take place. He seems to be vacillating in the world of liminality (neither here nor there). He is standing at a point of conscious awareness below which something cannot be experienced or felt. In other words, CBN seems to be suffering from pathological insecurity, wherein, T- issue has become something whose consequences are neither being felt nor being experienced by him.

Like in Grand slam Tennis tournaments, if there are rankings for eternally ambivalent politician in India, CBN would be ranked top seed with big margin.

Politics needs calculations, strategies but they are not substitutes for credible leadership. CBN after being out of power for nearly a decade is turning out to be a leader who lacked fundamental leadership skills. The gradual attrition of his leadership skills has further heightened his insecurity.

Thanks to the precipitate decision of the Congress on Telangana, there prevails an all ubiquitous political despair in the state. Despite, such prevailing political situation, CBN seemed to have lost his past charisma to project himself a viable alternate to the people of Andhra Pradesh. People are not motivated about his leadership even after suffering 9 years of ruinous Congress government. Even his supporters are wary of his ability to put the party on right track.

The ten years ruinous rule of Congress presented an opportunity to Naidu on platter. Conventional wisdom would suggest that the stage was set for Naidu's dream comeback. But he only succeeded in stunningly messing it up with his continued ambivalence to overcome Telangana issue.

Every decision of the Congress from Telangana to economic policies all seems to be impacting the fortunes of CBN. CBN had allowed things to such a passé and allowed the gross grow under his feet that every other party began to expose chinks in his armory for every tomfoolery of the ruling Congress.

Both YSRCP and TRS have been allowed to act as cheerleaders, while the Congress has aggressively focused on denying a political space to him by ridiculing, lampooning him on his so called two-eyed policy on Telangana issue.

During the politically eventful 1996-2004 era, CBN’s visits to Delhi as supremo of the TDP used to be an event in itself. He used to ooze power and evoke awe in political, corporate and media circles. He also had a very striking feature — his leopard-like eyes, steely and perennially on the prowl. But last month, when he made yet another political Drama of fasting in Delhi, his audience saw a different look in his eyes: the “panic of a hunted and nearly cornered lamb”.

Already devastated by two consecutive electoral setbacks (2004 and 2009) at the hand of Congress, CBN now faces the prospect of being battered by a deadly ploy — the Telangana-Seemandhra political divide that he is finding himself in with YSRCP as one rival, and older arch rivals the Congress-TRS combine menacingly advancing from the opposite side.

These days he looks like someone who had not only hit by a truck but expecting another truck to hit him anytime soon. It appears that all worlds’ misery has come to knock at his doors.

In hindsight, Naidu must be regretting two of his moves over the past decade and half. In 1999, after he led the TDP to a second consecutive victory, he dropped a second rung minister of his previous cabinet who was better known for his laidback ways and his love for the heady evening parties.

To his surprise, that miffed sacked minister, a certain K Chandrasekhar Rao, decided to launch his own party, the TRS, and went on to do what he is best at: arousing the Telangana sentiments and reviving the demand for a separate Telangana state. The rest is history.

The second event that CBN still rue was despite being opposed to the demand for Telangana, he teamed up with the TRS against YSR in the 2009 polls only to suffer defeat and loss of credibility.

After opposing Telangana all through, he did a dramatic U-turn — a costly miscalculation — by sending a letter in 2008 to the UPA regime supporting the creation of a new state perceiving that Congress would never concede Telangana. But, the subsequent sudden indiscriminate decision of the Congress to concede the Telangana state hit him like an earthquake.

Realizing that Telangana voters will now prefer the Congress and the TRS, Naidu rushed back to save his Seemandhra base by readjust his ambivalence with a slogan of “equal Justice” as a thaw for the bifurcation — only to realize that Jagan's YSR Congress had already hijacked that plank.

The YSRCP has outplayed him by projecting the jailed Jagan as a victim of Congress victimization; as the real anti-Congress alternative; and as the true fighter of the Seemandhra cause.

Caught from all sides and badly isolated, Naidu is now going back to the BJP though his party is not much of a force in AP. Three factors have made the TDP and BJP come together. First, both have similarly lost out whatever base they had in Telangana. Second, both are seen as betrayers in the Andhra region for their letters of support for Telangana. And third, Narendra Modi gets an opportunity to show that he can forge pre-poll alliances even as Naidu gets a lifeline to cling on to.

There is match-fixing between the Congress and Jagan on one side and between the Congress and TRS on the other.

Will CBN be able expose the conspiracy of Congress-YSRCP-TRS combine and emerge an alternative to revive the sagging morale of people of AP, is only a conjecture of time.
