As against expected troubles for Chandrababu in Krishna district for his pro Telangana stand, his pada-yatra is going smoothly and he enjoys overwhelming response from the huge turnout of the people. Although, Lagadapati Rajagopal has tried to encourage Seemandhra leaders in the region with his one-day drama while his entry into the district, there were no takers for him. He was able to escalate tensions between Congress and TDP cadres for a while but his efforts fails to make any negative impact on Chandrababu’s pada-yatra, probably because the people and the political parties in the state were grasped with the January 28th deadline on bifurcation issue and the consequent reactions to Azad’s statement. Nevertheless to say this situation helped him a lot for a smooth sail in the district. Neither he nor the people are keen to raise the point about his party pro Telangana stand during his pada-yatra.

So, Chandrababu is moving ahead with his pet subjects of attacking on Congress and YSR Congress parties. Chandrababu before beginning his pada-yatra from Kondur village in the district has paid tributes to his party leader late Paritala Ravi on the eve of his 8th death anniversary.
