Please find all my Telangana related blogs on www.simplytelaagana.com ,I am mere reproducing them here.
Individual or institutional anniversaries are good stopping points to reflect up on the contributions that they made to the society. Just concluded TRS 10th anniversary celebration is one such awe-inspiring moment to see how an individual personal traits help to build an institution weathering all kind of storms. This is really great fete -building a political institution in the times like these where political loyalty changes like London weather and individual selfish is atop that of the society.
He thrived amid all the difficulties. He is none other than our own man – K. Chandra Sekhar Rao. On this day I dwell upon the facts why KCR is an inspiration to younger generation in these times, society has very few persons to look up to. How his “never say die” attitude, exceptional oratory skills, political acumen, personal ethics, if followed in one’s personal life, are great tools for individual growth.
Rose Like a Sphinx record number of times.
He had enviable political career till he shunned the comfort of taking shade under the umbrella of TDP to float a political party to fight for the cause of Telangana separate state .Like any daring entrepreneur ridiculed by market, he too was subject to all kind of smack from his detractors and well wishers. He emerged victorious in the very next elections and subsequently in many other elections. He had his share of defeats too. All these happened as he never diverted his attention away from the goal that he set his eyes on. At times he was seemed by his detractors that he was away from his goal.
In the last elections his poor show at election boxes against the powerful rival YSR, made people to think that his and his party days are numbered. He was written off by his detractors.Nature’s fury at Mr. YSR Reddy has given necessary shot in the arm of the absolute political strategist who mastered the nuances of polity of India, AP in particular. He is the man rose liked a sphinx from the ashes. Sphinx may rise once in moon time but he has beaten the record umpteen num of times ever since he took the onus of Telangana Separate State formation on his bony shoulders.
Not only his political success and failure became subject of criticism but also his personal life. He was ridiculed for his body anatomy. His language became drawing room discussion topic. He became any cartoonist muse to poke fun at. This bony man never succumbed to criticism; instead he stood tall against all that. He answered all of them with his sheer determination. Political success and failures and smack of the society have not taken any attention from his goal.
What is the take away for younger generation here?
Do your dharma and leave the result to Him.
KCR – A true democrat and visionary in Feudal society.
The fact that any thinking citizen admires most of KCR is he is only the democrat left in this state though he born into a feudal family. Going by his style of functioning people may opine that he is an autocrat. I would like differ with all my learned friends. Why? If there is any leader who used Media fruitfully in contemporary India is should be him. He many times given thought provoking ideas to media to bring in healthy debate among the society; be it the question of “Telugu Talli”, “610 GO”, acceptance of Telangana culture.
AP Media predominantly staffed with people who never went beyond their home turfs, having no idea of what an healthy debate is about, having wedded to philosophy of “Hate Telangana” – “Cheat Telangana” , never picked up the issues thrown up by Mr. KCR to have healthy debate. Instead they always termed his handout to stimulate debate among society, as utterances. I feel he is true journalist’s delight.KCR exposed dubious journalism practiced in AP. I feel if he was at National level, he should have easily be National intelligentsia’s muse. My only wish is that KCR words can never be termed as utterances, always there was deeper meaning to his words. Any society which built on strong democratic foundation would have taken KCRs thought provoking ideas to ultimate fruition- healthy debate in the society. Given the shaky foundation on which Andhra Pradesh society was built, always disdain him by calling his wise words with as many names.
His capabilities did not end with stimulating debates and political strategies. He is good at formulating the policies as well. Backroom boy of Mr. Naidu he formulized many policies. “Training classes to party men”,” Janma bhoomi” and many innovative schemes germinated from the brain of this bony man. It is he who envisioned the “mono rail”, outer ring road for Hyderabad when good road was a luxury to people of Andhra Pradesh.
Youngster can learn the following: agree to disagree.
KCR – Incorruptible man
When Telangana movement at its peak, Andhra business man siphoned corers of rupees into media advertising and to mange few political brokers in Delhi. AP society bereft of morals always accused KCR of taking bribe of Gail Janardhanan reddy to go on hunger strike, he took money go silent after meeting Mr. Chidambaram. To loathe KCR statute among the people who are seeing him as last hope. If he was low on morals, he should have been bought over by Andhra lobby long ago. My question to all those who accuse him of financial fraud- why these gentlemen directly did not approach him with gunny bags, instead of putting them in the purses of News channels and political brokers at Delhi?.
What is in for youngster? Do not succumb to the lures of anything when your eye on goal.
KCR – The Complete Man
I always admired the KCRs tenacity to bounce back from lows he was pushed into by the circumstances he has chosen to live in. I wondered where does this lanky draw his strength from. I certainly feel that it is from his family and “DHARMA” he believes in. When he venture out on any mission for creation of telangana, news papers print the pictures of he bowing down before his sisters or mother or other elderly. This perhaps answers my question.
In a state where a person with family abetting murders can called as " Maha Neta” and in a state where crooked politician promoting crony capitalism can be called as “Visionary“, I reckon that every rational mind in state agrees with me to the fact that KCR stands well above these gentlemen.
Are not these qualities amount to call one man as “Complete Man”?
Inspiration
For all those youth who can view things rationally, here is an inspiration for you. Believe me he is inspiration ..only for all those youth who have open mind.
After thought: As an insider of the AP society I am fully aware of the fact that the topic this column would invite at least as much criticism as KCRs media briefings do. However that can’t hold me back from saying the obvious.
