A section of the TDP is shocked at the spate of IT raids in AP. First it was Beeda Mastan Rao. Then it was Narayana. Now, it is CM Ramesh. But, there is another section in the party which is happy about the raids. They feel that these raids will get sympathy for the party and will help the party go to the voters crying foul. It can garner sympathy votes, the party leaders feel. This section feels that they can portray Narenda Modi as villain and paint themselves as victims.
In fact, the same Chandrababu till recently has praised Modi and wanted him to become PM again. He had also passed a resolution on the floor of the house lauding Narendra Modi for granting special package to AP. But, now he has done a somersault and is now blaming Modi for everything. He seems to believe that the people have short memory and would forget his past statements. To add to these, he is also planning to exploit the IT raids on his money bags. He wants portray them as vendetta and as the price the TDP was paying daring to take on the Centre. Chandrababu seems to be happ that this could actually help him. But, who knows, sometimes the best laid plans go awry. Didnât that happen when he called for early elections after Alipiri attack on him?
