Brother and Sister sentiment!!

The leader can be from ruling party or from opposition or from a budding new party-everyone is addressing with the word 'brothers' and 'sisters'. It's a common factor to note that the political speeches start with the line 'My dear brothers and sisters'.

But here even while giving a statement or while referring to anyone, the political lips are uttering the word 'brother' or 'sister'.

When observed we can see Roja calling Naidu as 'Anna'. And Chiru has been called 'annayya' by film fraternity as well as political followers. YSR is calling Sabita Indra Reddy as 'chellamma'. Babu called people 'thammullu' during his Yuva Garjana. He never used such expression earlier and it is the influence of competition from other parties around him. And KCR is calling his people as 'brothers and sisters'.

Now Chiranjeevi has gone a step ahead calling his rival also as his brother. That would be his pseudo Gandhian style, say a few. He called KCR as 'brother'. "My brother and your leader KCR has himself said there was clarity in what I said," he told the TRS activists.

A few weeks back it is known that a video clipping has entered youtube and that is the private meeting of PRP leaders with Chiranjeevi. Mega Star is seen saying to his followers to address people as 'brother' and 'sister' wherever they go. He implies that it is the best way to develop a sort of family relation and closeness develops to cast votes for them.

We have to see how this 'daayadula poru' (as they are calling 'brothers' and 'sisters' among themselves) would result in. Who are pandavas and who are kouravas can be known only after elections.
