Rajdeep Sardesai of CNN-IBN Calls KCR A "Normal Ambitious" Politician
The well renowned political analyst and chief editor at the CNN-IBN news channel has written about KCR in his blog. In the blog he tries to discuss about KCR's good and also bad points.His blog reads
"In politics, never write off anyone. A few months ago, I was invited by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti leader, and politician of the moment, K Chandrasekhar Rao, to his residence for an Andhra (oops, Telangana!) lunch. Tied up in other work, I frankly did not make the effort to keep the date. The fact that KCR's party just has two MPs, including the party 'supremo', may have influenced my decision. In Delhi's power equations, two MPs make you almost irrelevant: lunch with KCR, honestly, seemed a waste of time. Today, KCR has proved the power of one, forcing the Centre to blink after going on a 11-day fast over his demand for a separate state of Telangana.
The demand is not new. Nor is the student agitation. In 1969, more than 300 students were killed while agitating for a separate state. Long before KCR, there was Dr M Chenna Reddy, who eventually allowed his separatist urges to be dissolved by his ambition to be Andhra chief minister. KCR, too, has been a political nomad, who only left the Telugu Desam in 2001 to form the TRS because he was passed over for cabinet minister. His experiment with the UPA ended when he realized that YS Rajasekhar Reddy was slowly decimating his party. Just days before the 2009 general elections, he resurfaced at an NDA rally, only to find himself being swept aside once again by the YSR tidal wave.
But what he couldn't do through the ballot box, KCR has achieved, at least temporarily, through one of the oldest forms of political protests: 'a fast unto death'. It was the Mahatma who legitimized the idea of a fast as an instrument of non-violent civil disobedience, designed mainly to further the clear strategic goal of political independence. During his lifetime, Gandhi fasted at least 17 times, the last time in August 1947 in an effort to stop Hindu-Muslim violence in the aftermath of Partition.
KCR is no Mahatma. Far from it. Nor is he a Potti Sreeramulu, who made the ultimate sacrifice when on a fast unto death that led to the formation of Andhra Pradesh in 1952. But KCR has shown that it is possible to use a Gandhian tool in a contemporary India that otherwise identifies with the Mahatma only through the cinematic glow of a Munnabhai . In Gandhi's view, "the fasts must have a concrete and specific goal, not abstract aims' and 'the fast must not ask people to do something they were incapable of, or to cause great hardship." The 'success' of Gandhi's fasts were based on his moral power, his ability to emotionally unite a nation with the spirit of sacrifice. The fasting, in a sense, was an extension of his lifestyle based on austerity and personal courage.
The 'success' of KCR's fast, on the other hand, has much to do with the power of the visual image and the impact it can have in shaping public perceptions. That there has always been a popular pro-Telagana sentiment is undeniable. But that sentiment has needed a symbol around which it can crystallize. For the last ten days, Andhra Pradesh's dozen-plus Telugu news channels--more than any other state in the country--have shown little else but an emaciated Rao in different hospitals. The image of a politician on saline drip with doctors offering hourly health updates was enough to build a larger-than-life aura around a leader who otherwise had dropped off the headlines.
Making KCR's task easier was a weak and nervous Andhra government still coming to terms with YSR's death. A strong state government would not have allowed the student agitation in Osmania University to get out of control and would have sent out a firm message of zero tolerance for any law and order disturbance. Unfortunately, K Rosaiah is a chief minister who feels so obliged that the Congress high command has given him the post that he has forgotten his prime responsibility lies in governing the state.
So, will other movements for a separate state now gather fresh momentum and will we see more 'fasts unto death' in the weeks ahead? An Ajit Singh in UP, Gorkhaland activists in West Bengal, even the ageing Vidarbha warriors may be tempted to test the resolve of the Indian state, or at least try and make political capital of the post-Telangana concession. No two situations are alike, but a state which capitulates once gives the impression that it can do so again in the future. So, the fast as a made for television event may well be replicated in other parts of the country.
Ironically, the one individual who perhaps best exemplifies the Gandhian spirit of fasting isn't on the national television map. Last month marked nine years since a frail, but remarkably gritty Manipuri woman, Irom Sharmila went on a fast unto death, demanding the removal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act. Locked up in a hospital room in Imphal, she has been force fed by the government and re-arrested every time she is granted bail. She is a staunch believer in ahimsa, and it's the state and the militant groups in Manipur who stand charged with violence and human right violations. Perhaps, Manipur isn't mainstream enough, nor is there the kind of relentless news coverage that will make Irom Sharmila's story force the Indian state to accommodate, or at least listen to her brave voice. Irom Sharmila is a true inheritor of the Gandhian legacy of peaceful protest while KCR is only an ambitious politician who is looking to revive his career. "

Lets ask ourselves few things before you think of a new state.. Who guarantees a growth in the newly formed state?? As a reminder to the readers, the fifth chief minister of Jharkhand Madhu Koda made a bounty of estmiated 4000 crores after the formation of the new state, the other states which were formed recently, like Uttarakhand and Chattisgarh have all showed no improvements in state economy nor social welfare. So what happened?? Doesn't it sound very obvious that a formation of new state gives specific amount of budget from Center every year, coupled with the revenew coming from the sales tax excercised by the government on every business possible. All that money is put to use for the accumulation of assests by the very politicians who make a mockery out of every individual who trusts him/her for the betterment of their livelyhood. Its all a very flambouyant art of trickery which is mastered by every politician today. People of our nation have the inherited urge to follow whatever is told to them without thinking for themselves, most of us are easily convinced by words that are beyond our understanding. Ask yourself, the best politician you ever know who has come to your doorsteps and nearby for votes during election, could you even get to meet him when you or community needed his leadership the most? The answer is NO!! You can't lie to yourself but you can show a blind eye to what is not right because you believe otherwise.. I am totally apthic towards the people of telangana, for all the humiliation that you have suffered for years.. But if you choose to act with brut force than intellect you have a big chance of being cheated and humiliated again by those you trust very deeply. Fight for what you need than what you think you need. I wish my country had more compasionate people than hypocrates, India would have been a country of achievements in all areas.

They are ready to go to any extent to improve their TRP ratings all in the name of a better society. Media locates the hot spots if not creating few , trigger it , add fuel to the fire and then pretend to douse it all in the name of creating a better society.Is it media or mafia!! The people are going through so much of trouble since the unfortunate death of YSR followed by drought , floods and now this agitation.The present incumbent CM is not allowede to settle and perform.Day in day out panel discussions on whether he would continue or not.Really shameful!!The real solution lies in inclusive equitable development of poor people be it in Telangana or wherever in India and not the development of leaders & their families.Telangana region has seen the development of one set of leaders ( turn coats of the feudal regime ) imediately after independence followed by another set during 1969 agitation & now one more set to emerge. CUTTTING GOOD TREES TO BRING OUT BAD NEWS, THAT IS MEDIA IN AP. 17:["$","div","78935626875286",{"className":"border-l-4 border-gray-200 pl-4","children":[["$","div",null,{"className":"flex items-center gap-2 mb-2","children":["$","address",null,{"className":"flex items-center mb-6 not-italic","children":["$","div",null,{"className":"inline-flex items-center text-sm text-gray-900 dark:text-white","children":[["$","img",null,{"className":"mr-3 w-8 h-8 rounded-full","src":"$19","alt":"Guest"}],["$","a",null,{"href":"/author/guest_73325980156310","rel":"author","className":"font-bold capitalize hover:underline dark:text-white","children":"Guest"}],["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],"$undefined",["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],["$","time",null,{"dateTime":"Mon Jan 04 2010","className":"text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400","children":"Jan 4, 2010"}],"$undefined"]}]}]}],["$","p",null,{"className":"text-gray-700","children":"$1a"}],["$","div",null,{"className":"flex items-center mt-4 space-x-4","children":["$","button",null,{"type":"button","className":"flex items-center font-medium text-sm text-gray-500 hover:underline dark:text-gray-400","children":[["$","svg",null,{"className":"mr-1.5 w-3 h-3","aria-hidden":"true","xmlns":"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg","fill":"currentColor","viewBox":"0 0 20 18","children":["$","path",null,{"d":"M18 0H2a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v9a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v4a1 1 0 0 0 1.707.707L10.414 13H18a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V2a2 2 0 0 0-2-2Zm-5 4h2a1 1 0 1 1 0 2h-2a1 1 0 1 1 0-2ZM5 4h5a1 1 0 1 1 0 2H5a1 1 0 0 1 0-2Zm2 5H5a1 1 0 0 1 0-2h2a1 1 0 0 1 0 2Zm9 0h-6a1 1 0 0 1 0-2h6a1 1 0 1 1 0 2Z"}]}],"Reply"]}]}]]}] 1b:T40f,data:image/svg+xml;utf8,%3Csvg%20width%3D%2232%22%20height%3D%2232%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%2032%2032%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20role%3D%22img%22%20aria-label%3D%22Avatar%20for%20Guest%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Crect%20width%3D%22100%25%22%20height%3D%22100%25%22%20fill%3D%22hsl(280%2C%2080%25%2C%2050%25)%22%20rx%3D%223.2%22%20%2F%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3Ctext%20x%3D%2250%25%22%20y%3D%2250%25%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20font-family%3D%22sans-serif%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20font-size%3D%2212.8%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20font-weight%3D%22bold%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20fill%3D%22%23FFFFFF%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20text-anchor%3D%22middle%22%20%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20dominant-baseline%3D%22central%22%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20style%3D%22user-select%3A%20none%3B%22%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20G%0A%20%20%20%20%20%20%3C%2Ftext%3E%0A%20%20%20%20%3C%2Fsvg%3E18:["$","div","78928345563542",{"className":"border-l-4 border-gray-200 pl-4","children":[["$","div",null,{"className":"flex items-center gap-2 mb-2","children":["$","address",null,{"className":"flex items-center mb-6 not-italic","children":["$","div",null,{"className":"inline-flex items-center text-sm text-gray-900 dark:text-white","children":[["$","img",null,{"className":"mr-3 w-8 h-8 rounded-full","src":"$1b","alt":"Guest"}],["$","a",null,{"href":"/author/guest_73325980156310","rel":"author","className":"font-bold capitalize hover:underline dark:text-white","children":"Guest"}],["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],"$undefined",["$","span",null,{"className":"mx-1 text-md text-gray-400 dark:text-gray-500","children":"·"}],["$","time",null,{"dateTime":"Thu Dec 24 2009","className":"text-gray-500 dark:text-gray-400","children":"Dec 24, 2009"}],"$undefined"]}]}]}],["$","p",null,{"className":"text-gray-700","children":"Thanks for such an eye: Thanks for such an eye opening article."}],["$","div",null,{"className":"flex items-center mt-4 space-x-4","children":["$","button",null,{"type":"button","className":"flex items-center font-medium text-sm text-gray-500 hover:underline dark:text-gray-400","children":[["$","svg",null,{"className":"mr-1.5 w-3 h-3","aria-hidden":"true","xmlns":"http://www.w3.org/2000/svg","fill":"currentColor","viewBox":"0 0 20 18","children":["$","path",null,{"d":"M18 0H2a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v9a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v4a1 1 0 0 0 1.707.707L10.414 13H18a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V2a2 2 0 0 0-2-2Zm-5 4h2a1 1 0 1 1 0 2h-2a1 1 0 1 1 0-2ZM5 4h5a1 1 0 1 1 0 2H5a1 1 0 0 1 0-2Zm2 5H5a1 1 0 0 1 0-2h2a1 1 0 0 1 0 2Zm9 0h-6a1 1 0 0 1 0-2h6a1 1 0 1 1 0 2Z"}]}],"Reply"]}]}]]}]
