<!--QuoteBegin-ramana+Jun 12 2008, 03:58 PM-->QUOTE(ramana @ Jun 12 2008, 03:58 PM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> Muppalla, Someone I forgot who told me a couple of years ago that Jayaprakash Narayan ex IAS of Lok Satta will be a CM. He has a big fan base in Silicon Valley and often gives speeches at Telugu owned restraunts. I note Chiranjivi hopes to tie up with Lok Satta.
So if next AP elections lead to fractured verdict this could happen.
Anyone know more about JPN of Andhra Pradesh? <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I do not think Jayaprakash Narayan has any chance remotely to get to that stage. In many of the elections his party lost deposits. He is an aquaintence of my uncle. There are too many government officials and ex-officials who consider CBN as their enemy. The administrative reforms that CBN made created more enemies for him and JPN is one of those outputs. If someone destroys(even for a good reason) an established system then the repercussions are immense and CBN has to take the brunt of this. I give some credit to CBN on this count. I can write more of this but that will be out of scope for this post.
JPN's plank was to change the current political system. He made great noises about what is wrong with the system and how it should be etc. It is very easy to win brownie points with the educated (with no real brains) elite of India. All you need to do is to criticize the politicians and you are in the game and I am not surprised about the reception in Silicon Valley.
I am very keenly watching this person and here are some of my observations:
* He will never oppose the naxalite movement or the proxies of naxals like civil liberties movement.
* He is very soft towards any left oriented movement
* He is anti-reformist even though off-late he claims contrary
* He do not want even to criticize the terrorists when Hyderbad blasts occured. He openly said it over TV.
* Here is the website: http://www.loksatta.org/
* I believe his party is funded by left leaning NGOs based in US. (not openly). ASHA types support this person.
I have a total different opinion about this person and this is based on my personal observations. I believe he is an implant by a very powerful entity and he is working as a proxy towards the mission of the entity.
Loksatta, TRS, Naxalites and now Chiranjeevi are used by powerful entities (including external) with a purpose in Andhra Pradesh. Some of these folks know that they are helping these entities. Some doesn't. Loksatta and Naxalites belong to folks who are doing this knowingly. TRS and Chiranjeevi just does not even know as they blindly think they have an independent plank.
To eloborate the above, this post will become extremly long and I will sound like a conspiracy theorist.
In summary Andhra Pradesh is extemely important state for many of India's external entities (including enimies) and there is lot of investment going towards conducting several surveys.
My take is Congress will win AP comfortably in the next elections. BJP here is cornered into "no-way out of mess" situation. TDP is in serious trouble. All the new entrants will only help congress as every one eats a piece out of TDP.
If TDP plays its game wrongly then there is a chance of "theoretical" extinction for them.
So if next AP elections lead to fractured verdict this could happen.
