What does the apology politics in Andhra Pradesh signify?
Who ignited the rift within the alliance?
Did Pawan Kalyan criticize the TTD governing body with anger and frustration, or was it with thoughtfulness? Was it done in a moment of recklessness?
Narrative:
We all know that six devotees lost their lives in the stampede that occurred during the special darshan ticket distribution for Vaikuntha Ekadashi.
After the incident, Deputy CM Pawan Kalyan, who went to visit, expressed his sorrow and apologized for the tragedy.
Until this point, everything seemed fine. However, Pawan Kalyan strongly criticized the TTD governing board, chairman, and executive officers for failing to show remorse or offer an apology for the incident (as of the time this article was written).
Political analysts believe there are hidden political motives behind these criticisms, suggesting that Pawan Kalyan’s aggressive reaction was fueled by factors within the alliance. They speculate that the increasing media reports over the past month against Pawan Kalyan, labeled as "journalistic" but often full of baseless accusations, have contributed to his decision to speak out this way.
Since the alliance came to power, it is believed that Pawan Kalyan has gained more public support than Chandrababu Naidu and Lokesh Babu. Pawan Kalyan's political graph is on the rise, and analysts suggest that with Narendra Modi's backing, this could be dangerous for the Telugu Desam Party in the future. As a result, certain media outlets, under the guise of "journalism," have been targeting Pawan Kalyan with defamatory narratives.
This has deeply upset Pawan Kalyan. He has realized that the media mafia, in collusion with Chandrababu Naidu, has been playing petty politics to create a rift between him and Naidu. Understanding the opportunity, Pawan Kalyan may have reacted strongly to show his political strategies and power.
We will have to wait and see whether the bond between the Telugu Desam Party and Janasena strengthens or weakens in the coming days.
