Though the elections are quite far away, political activism has picked up a tremendous pace in Telangana. Events happening at break-neck speed in all major political parties. In the last one week there have been a slew of developments in Telangana.

Consider this. Ambitious and scheming Revanth Reddy was finally made the TPCC chief. This spurred a great amount of enthusiasm among the political parties. The young leaders and cadre became very active. The massive rally through the streets of Hyderabad and the flamboyance during the oath-taking are indications that Revanth means business. Not to be undone, the BJP followed it up with elevating their Reddy â€“ G Kishan Reddy.

Hard-working and low-key Kishan Reddy has managed to impress both Modi and Shah and got a cabinet rank. Elevation of Kishan Reddy is being seen as a signal to the Reddy community in the state, who are desperately looking for a face. Kishan Reddy is being projected as the next CM by a section of the BJP.

At almost the same time, YS Sharmila too has thrown her hat in the ring for the leadership of the Reddy community in Telangana. She is invoking Rajanna Rajyam, the last of Reddy titans in Telugu political history. She is also trying to woo the Reddy community. Some of the key functionaries in her party are from that community. Suddenly, the competition for their share of Reddy pie has increased among the three parties.

Even as this is happening, one party that dominated the political scene for over 40 years, has died a silent death, unsung and unwept. The Telugu Desam has completely sunk with no possibility of floating again. It's Telangana unit president himself resigned from the party and has joined the ruling TRS. With this, the TDP is gone never to return again in Telagnana. Ramana in all probability would be made the TRS candidate from Huzurabad assembly constituency, which will soon go to bypolls. He would be asked to take on locally powerful and hugely popular Eatala Rajender of the BJP.
