Isn't it quite interesting that four key politicians of the two Telugu states are totally silent on the BJP's stunning victory in four of the five state assemblies that went to polls recently? Several political leaders, party bosses have congratulated the BJP on its stupendous victory. But, TRS boss KCR, TDP boss Chandrababu Naidu, YSRCP boss YS Jagan Mohan Reddy and Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan did not even post a tweet congratulating the BJP.
While Jagan maintained a want and watch approach and played quite cautiously, the TRS boss was quite open in criticising the BJP. He even talked about forming an anti-BJP coalition of parties to defeat Modi. TRS boss KCR did not even bother to congratulate the BJP.
Jagan has a pretty cordial relationship with Modi in particular and the BJP in general. In fact, Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman had said that Modi has a fatherly affection for Jagan. But, even YS Jagan chose not to comment on the BJP victory. A BJP victory is not exactly music for Chandrababu Naidu. He had in fact funded and supported the Congress Party ahead of the 2019 elections. So, Chandrababu remained silent about the election results.
But the biggest surprise in Jana Sena chief Pawan Kalyan. Pawan is still in alliance with the BJP. When his own alliance partner has done so very well, he could have tweeted his happiness at least. But, Pawan Kalyan completely ignored this major political development and kept quiet. Wonder why no Telugu leader of some standing opened up on the issue.
