Viren, TDP like all regional parties are one man bands. The bandmaster neuters all potential challengers. Real wolf pack tactics.
When I look at the policies of Y Rajashekar Reddy and contrast them to CBN I can see a difference. YSR is developing all of AP as a hedge against Telangana separation. While TDP was developing Hyderabad and specifically CBN owned areas- Hitec City etc.
On aside note do you know why Andrew Jackson, the 7th US President is the true creator of the modern two party system in the US? He created the system of poltical spoils by rewarding his supporters for their loyalty and created stakeholders for preserving the party in power. THis worked till Lincoln came to power before the Civil War.
In the Indian system the leader of the wolf pack grabs everything to fill his pockets and the new challengers come who finish of the current leader or in modern democracies they have to leave the party to create new power(PAWAR) centers.
I think YSR is realizing the need to spread the economic development all around and not on centers of excellence which are really sources to line the pockets.
They say NTR used developed a fine skill of extortion of the AP Power crisis. He ensured power to only those who paid off the TDP.
