Telugu regional parties back Modi on farmers' stir
By: Tupaki Desk | 24 May 2021 4:56 AM GMT
The Black Day sponsored by some anti-BJP political parties and farmers groups on May 26 seems to be exposing the political games of the major regional parties in the two Telugu states. Interestingly, none of the regional parties in the Telugu states are supporting the Black Day being organised to mark the completion of six months of the farmers' stir.
KCR has not come out with any statement supporting the Black Day. Instead, he is maintaining studious silence. KTR who normally is given the task of criticising the BJP, has perhaps been asked to remain silent. On this issue. At the same time, AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy too is silent on the issue. Clearly, both the ruling regional parties are not with the other opposition parties.
But the real surprise is Chandrababu Naidu and his TDP. Even TDP, which normally opposes everything that Jagan does, is one with him. Even the TDP is not backing the Black Day. It has not signed on the declaration brought out by the Opposition parties. In fact, it was Chandrababu Naidu, who had led the formation of an anti-BJP front before the 2019 elections. But, he himself is absent in the list of signitaries.
Clearly, Chandrababu Naidu, who is eager to mend fences with the BJP leadership, does not want to take a risk. So, Chandrababu Naidu has played safe and did not even make an attempt to talk about the farmers' strike. Meanwhile, Congress Party, which once strongly supported the farm bills while it was in power, is now one of its strong opponents. It is in fact leading the non-BJP parties on the issue of the farmers stir.
