KCR perhaps will go down in the history of the Telugu states as the most inaccessible chief minister ever. He has rarely visited the secretariat. He has limited himself for the most of the time to the farmhouse in former Medak district. Even the tallest party leaders find him inaccessible and getting an interview from him is unimaginable. As recently as few days ago, Home Minister Nayani Narasimha Reddy himself lamented about KCR's inaccessibility. Many ministers have not met him person in years. Though many of them are deeply pained and even insulted, they dare not open up on this.
But, KCR is always available for four persons. One is son KTR, second is daughter Kavitha and nephew Hariesh. Though MP and another nephew Santosh Kumar has ready access to KCR, he should be considered part of KCR's personal retinue. He takes care of KCR's needs, gives him medicines and does all his chores. So, who is the fourth one?
If Cental Union Minister and BJP senior leader Sadananda Gowda is to be believed, the fourth person who has anytime access is none other than MIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi. According to Gowda, KCR believes and trusts only Asaduddin Owaisi. Even otherwise, there is a strong buzz that if KCR wants to convince KTR on some issue or the other, he would ask Asad to talk to KTR. Such is Asad's clout, say insiders.
