Masking of Telangana Talli amidst of allegations of ticket sales in Telangana Rashtra Samithi, arson in Praja Rajyam Party offices all over the State by distruntled party workers for denial of tickets to their leaders and confusion in the Telugu Desam camp over seat sharing with the Mahakootami partners – have been the highlights in the media on Sunday.
In fact, the entire front page of Sakshi daily has been dedicated to exposing chinks in the Opposition camp. It carried Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhara Reddy’s election campaign, but it was also confined to attacking the Opposition. The developments in the rival camps must have been definitely a positive signal for YSR. Another important development on the political front is some minor changes in the list of candidates of the Congress. Sulking candidates like deputy speaker Kutuhalamma and Younis Sultan finally got the place in the list of Congress candidates for the assembly elections.
On the other hand, TRS president K Chandrasekhara Rao’s shifting to Mahbubnagar under pressure from his friend Vijayashanti, who will now be contesting from Medak, has also been an interesting development. The Election Commission’s decision to give notice to KCR and others on allegations of selling of tickets is the second lead in Andhra Jyothy daily. Eenadu carried an interesting item – “KCR c/o Gandaragolam” which clearly exposes the TRS president’s chaotic condition.
In spite of so many developments in the Opposition camp, Eenadu chose to write a negative story against the Congress, stating that its strength in Lok Sabha would come down and its tally might not get be more than 119 seats. At the same time, it published a “Naidu-baaka” story, stating that TD president N Chandrababu Naidu is not sleeping even for three hours due to ticket distribution exercise. What more can we expect from Ramoji Rao?
