When Will Volcano Harish Explode?

There has been a talk for the last few days that Harish Rao would not be made a minister this time. Therefore, there was not much surprise in his name not figuring in the list of ministers. But, what is surprising is Harish Rao's reaction to this development. He behaved very normally. He attended the swearing in and congratulated all the ministers. He then met the media to tell them that there was no grouse or grudge or even disappointment at being denied a berth in the ministry. He said he would work like a normal party worker and scoffed at the rumours circulating th emedia.

But this statement itself shows his political acumen. He showed that he is very much loyal to KCR and the party. By this, he is also trying to gain sympathy big time. By repeatedly stating that nobody should be exorcised over the issue of his not getting a berth, he is trying to give an impression that the something is going on in the party. Thus, he is trying to build pressure on KCR.

In fact, everyone knows his abilities and capabilities. It was he who managed to win the NGOs and other sections of the society to the Telangana cause. Everyone knows that he is better than anyone who has been given the ministry. In fact, Ministers like Srinivas Goud are his proteges. Ministers like Dayakar Rao and Talasani Srinivas are turncoats and have no history of fighting for Telangana. So, sympathy is building up for Harish Rao. As a result, there is a steady flow of visitors to Harish Rao's house. Despite, KTR and KCR's efforts, Harish Ra is managing to get the support. What more, most of those who became ministers were found at Harish Rao's home on Tuesday.

At some stage, the volcano is going to explode. At least this is the impression that Harish is giving.
