New TDP, TRS and Communist Alliance - Why and What?

Four Leaders from four political parties with different ideologies, currently suffering from severe political identity crisis and power vacuum have come together to form a grand alliance.

TRS is formed with a sole objective to create a separate Telengana State. This party lost the best of opportunities to achieve the objective owing to it's leader K Chandrasekhara Rao's maverick political moves

TDP the grand party celebrating a quarter century of its existence - primarily created by NT Rama Rao with the sole objective Atmagowravam (self pride of Telugu's) . At least on paper differs on TRS idealogy

Two communist parties, whose do not have any agenda on their own, but always try to act as destructive forces for development or progress of any kind. If I were to vote TDP on Chandrababu Naidu's performance as CM, then Communists do not fit in the alliance structure.

KCR as Chandrasekhara Rao is known, left TDP to form the TRS - as he felt power deprivation at that time in Telugu Desam Party (TDP).

Chandrababu Naidu, lost the power nearly five years ago largely due to his own mistakes is becoming desperate to regain the CM Gaddi - which is now turning a mirage due to stable Congress and recent emergence of Prajarajyam Party that is eating into it's vote base.

There is nothing significant to mention about the two Communist Parties - except that they have some base in every economically backward district in Andhra Pradesh.

Now all Four have come together - for Power. Power is the big sucker before elections. All have seen an opportunity here, before the elections - but none have credibility.

Chandrababu Naidu is known for his use and throw politics. He knows how to "use" anyone for his benefit and then dump at the earliest. KCR is least consistent politician in the state. He is known to contradict himself and his party repeatedly. Communist never enjoyed being closer to power as we have seen in the Centre early last year when they nearly pulled the Government down.

Now this alliance is acknowledging couple of things. First, individually they cannot beat either Dr YS Rajasekhar Reddy or Chiranjeevi. Secondly, all four are bitter enemies of YSR and they wanted to defeat him.

Without going to merits of YSR or Chiru, it is hard to understand what these Four would offer Andhra Pradesh if they were fortunate to get elected to power. Probably, Nothing?

Babu will ditch KCR as soon as it was feasible. KCR will again give his mouth a mouthful job. Communists will keep Babu on hooks for a while and then they will depart. Babu will go back to his (hidden) agenda. As he took U turns on many issues ranging from Telengana, Free Power, Subsidies - it is highly impossible to know if Babu will take U or S turn.

Of course, in politics it is often seen that least trustworthy are winners. Let's see if this is the case in 2009!
