The floods are a cause of illegal construction extending to streams. All the floods are of type "flash floods" and are gone in a day. Yesterday I was travelling inside the city and there was a downpoar for 30 minutes and the watter logged upto one third of the car. It took about 2.5 hours to reach 2 km and today morning it is all back to normal.
Regarding political mood, there is huge anger at least in the city. I was taking only cabs and normal transport mode to just to talk to cross section of the population. One cab driver said "I will vote to even a pig if it defeats Congress".
In Hyderabad, backlash against Muslim apeasement had hit even the illiterate and that is a first. In my view, the lowest were always after their daily bread but this is the first. May be my sampling is not that accurate but that is how I feel.
The first impression is Coastal belt (Godavari and Krishna districts - the heartland) is in waves towards Chiranjeevi. Historically, this is where AP changes start and hence we need watch this guy in the next few months.
The general feeling is TDP is the one that will be badly affected. However, CBN is a maverick and I personally think not all is lost. He is trying a bigger game of bringing in Mayavati and splitting the SC vote between Maya and Sonia. If he succeeds the game is anyones.
I have never seen that many political players in AP and it is very difficult to predict the outcome.
