Sentiments are very powerful emotional chargers. As we see often in Tollywood productions - sister, brother and mother sentiment based movies are super hits. At the best of times, sentiment is a power emotional opportunity. Thus it is a crow puller and in cine terms big blockbuster opportunity.
The great NTR was perhaps the first and the last politician cum cine hero who had success with sentiment factor both in Tollywood and Andhra Pradesh politics. The fact that polls were held with in 9 months of the sentiment kick-off, NTR's road to political success became lot easier. However, on becoming CM, NTR himself could not sustain his power just by using the sentiment factor. This is because, sentiment is impulsive and before rational thinking kicks in, it has to be cashed. Sentiment itself cannot sustained on long term basis. This is the problem with BJP's - Hindutva / Ayodhya sentiment
The Telangana sentiment is reaching it's peak. There are no additional boosters with KCR or TRS that can be fired to sustain this sentiment on Long-term basis.
The key question in today's Telengana episode is whether someone will give or KCR will take Telangana. Today YSR and CBN, the most powererful leaders in AP, if share a common vision of united Andhra Pradesh, they must act rationally. Despite their political differences, NTR was magnanimous in supporting PV NarasimhaRao when he contested from Nandyal.
KCR cannot take it using sentiment alone. No Tollywood movie based on sentiment ran years at boxoffice and nor great NTR could sustain his power using sentiment alone.
Andhra Pradesh politicians - be honest and remember that strength is unity in democracy
