Will Babu Tolerate Revanth’s Cult Status?
In India, politicians who come
out of jail naturally start deriving more mileage. In the public domain,
we have seen how scores of leaders have become more admired and adored
after serving certain period in
jail.
The instance of Jagan, Lalu Prasad Yadav, Jayalalithaa are only among few to mention.
Keeping
aside the merits of the case or their involvement or conviction, after
serving some period in jail, the sympathy for them gets doubled and in
fact they get a new cult status. For Revanth Reddy, there was already a hero stature even before he
was jailed or even while being taken to jail.
Naidu can be glad he has a hero in Telangana too
His
thunderous statements that he will drag KCR one day in the same way,
when he was actually being dragged shows his future intentions and
affiliations. Although Naidu can be glad he has a hero in
Telangana
too, given his ego, can Chandrababu tolerate a cult status for Revanth
Reddy . It is a public fact that most heads of regional parties will not
entertain someone upstaging themselves or their family heirs. KCR is
also an example for this.
After
his troubles in this case, naturally for being loyal, Revanth may raise
his stakes and may also start having an independent mindset. Previously,
Late Indra Reddy, Renuka Chowdary and a host of other
leaders
left TDP as Naidu couldn’t tolerate their independent ways. This was
long before Jagan mania or TRS mania. So, it has to be seen how Revanth
can be accommodated as one of the TDP leaders and not as a great TDP
leader within the watchful eyes of Naidu.
