What is the secret behind KCR's new-found aggression? These days, he is displaying the kind of aggression that he had shown during the Telangana agitation. He has overruled the diktats of the Krishna river board and has ignored water allocations to achieve 100 per cent power generation.
Not just that. He has also deployed large number of security forces at the irrigation projects. This again is an unprecedented move. This is the first time that police were deployed in such numbers at an irrigation project. It shows his confidence in himself. KCR feels he can be friendly with the Centre and at the same time oppose it in equal measure. He is confident that since there are no cases against him, he has nothing to fear from the Centre.
Those in the know argue that by this aggression on irrigation projects and the water dispute with AP, he is trying to show that he is the master. Not just that, he is also trying to send signals to those regional parties that are trying to forge a third front. In fact, KCR had worked for a Federal Front ahead of 2019 general elections. He had even toured a couple of states for this. So, KCR is also indicating that he is ready lead the third front if need be by his aggressive actions.
