A leadership vacuum and a demand for separate state by a second rung leader. A deadly combination of both has engulfed andhra. The state which was on par with tamilnadu (in growth terms) a couple of years back is now in political turmoil.
All three leaders of political parties - KCR,Jagan and Naidu have gone fast-unto-deaths to get what they want. They don't want a separate state or a united andhra. They want votes. Almost all legislators in seemandhra are targeted by the United Andhra groups and attacked.
Almost 70 days of bandh in seemandhra and food prices have jumped like anything. Whatever you want to buy, you have to buy in the 6 - 9 pm timings daily.
The situation has got so worse there and the anger can be best understood in the below report from Times of India -
JAC leaders burnt the effigies of the Union ministers at several places and offered 'pinda pradanam,' a ritual where food is offered to the dead souls. In Tirupati, NGOs, teachers and RTC workers JAC held a 'sava yatra' carrying the effigies of local MP Chinta Mohan and Amalapuram MP Harsha Kumar.Outside Rangaraya Medical College in Kakinada, the medical staff including doctors performed a mock-autopsy on the effigies of the Union ministers from Seemandhra and demanded their resignations.
All of these problems happened because of unfortunate death of one man - YS Rajasekara Reddy. An unexpected political vacuum and all are rushing to catch the space vacated by him.
If you want to solve such agitations , there is only one man in this country who can win over such situations with ease. Guess Who? It's ought to be ex-CM of taminadu, Mr.Karunanidhi. Want proof? The self-immolation of Muthukumar happened during the height of Eelam war in 2009 and the subsequent protests which rocked tamilnadu were completely put off by him(in some way or other) and to everyone's surprise , his government won the parliamentary elections by securing 27 of 39 seats.
However, at the moment, nobody seems to have answers to the Andhra problem.
