How to placate a leader with a wounded pride? How to ensure that this sulking leader is kept in leash and how to ensure that he does not leave the party? Simple. Give him some post. This will silence him. TDP boss Chandrababu Naidu is following this time-tested formula.
Ever since, he has been arrested in the ESI scam, MLA and former minister Atchen Naidu is a wounded man. His pride has been hurt and he is upset that the TDP did not to enough while he was put behind the bars. Hence, Atchen Naidu is confined to his home even after securing a bail. His brother's son Rammohan Naidu and Atchen's daughter Adireddy Bhavani are also sulking that the TDP did not fight strong enough for Atchen Naidu.
To placate these people, Chandrababu has reportedly decided to make Atchen Naidu the president of the AP unit. He would replace Kala Venkat Rao. By making him the party president, Chandrababu can capitalize on the sympathy factor and also ensure that Atchen does not leave the TDP in anger or frustration. Thirdly, Chandrababu can always go to the people and tell that he has made a BC the party president in AP.
But, the fact is AP TDP president's post is a nominal post. It has no value whatsoever. All he has to do is to pose for pics and address press conferences. Kala Venkat Rao did the same and if he becomes president, Atchen Naidu too will do no differently. Will this lollypop cool up Atchen Naidu? Let's see how things unfold.
