People of AP and Telangana states felt very happy for their Chief Ministers Chandrababu Naidu and KCR somehow patched up their differences after Amaravati Foundation stone laying ceremony. Telangana Chief Minister KCR declared that he is going to invite his counterpart Chandrababu Naidu for Ayutha Chandiyagam to be performed by him in this month. So, it looks all is well at the end, but not exactly.

 

Although, Chandrababu Naidu is trying to uphold their friendship by all means, TRS Chief KCR is not upholding it for their friendship sake. Chandrababu Naidu skipped campaigning in Warangal by elections for their friendship sake. He is also prepared to ignore his role in the upcoming MLC and GHMC elections for the same purpose.

 

But, TRS Chief KCR clinches TDP MLA Sayanna and is also planning to clinch many more in the next one month period before GHMC elections. He knew that it will upset his new friend Chandrababu Naidu, but seems not minding at all. Unlike Chandrababu Naidu, KCR appears to be giving more importance for winning GHMC elections rather than upholding their friendship. In this context, he creates an embarrassing situation for Chandrababu Naidu to decide whether to accept his invitation or not.

 

If he attends it, then he would be giving a wrong message to his party cadre in Telangana state that he prefer to maintain friendship with CM KCR rather than party interests in the state. It would be really annoying for them to watch their Boss is rubbing shoulders with CM KCR, who clinches their MLA Sayanna and against whom they are fighting now. Hence, if he attends this Chandiyagam certainly it will upset them all. Moreover, Chandrababu Naidu also has to face a very embarrassing situation there, when he faces some TRS leaders, who are still continuing as his party MLAs.

 

This situation seems to be exactly replica of YSR Congress party situation in Telangana state. It also lost two MLAs to TRS party, yet Jagan Mohan Reddy supported TRS party in the MLC elections held in June this year. Then, TDP leaders strongly criticized him for joining hands with TRS. So, YSR Congress party also may repeat the same question to Chandrababu Naidu, if he attends Chandiyagam.

 

Even if, Chandrababu Naidu ignores Chief Minister KCR’s invitation and skips the Chandiyagam, then also he will find himself at receiving end. TRS may highlight this point to gain political mileage in the upcoming elections. Its leaders may campaign that Chandrababu Naidu insults the people of Telangana state by rejecting KCR’s invitation, whereas their Chief Minister KCR humbly accepts Chandrababu Naidu’s invitation and attends Amaravati foundation stone function. So, KCR’s invitation to Chandrababu Naidu is not a matter of joy but a matter of dilemma.
