Andhra MPs

Gurazada Appa Rao famously said that "Our fellows are a Useless Lot". The exact telugu idiom used by him may be treated as unparliamentary and breach of privileges if applied to our Hon'ble MPs. But will it be off the mark?

Krishnam Raju, who was a BJP MP and a MOS in Vajpayee Ministry finally joined PRP. The reason attributed him is "He cannot do anything for the state remaining in BJP".
Does he feel BJP is anti coastal Andhra given its staunch pro-Telengana stance? Is that why Pendem Dora Babu, one of the 2 to be elected on BJP ticket in last elections, left BJP to join Congress?

Pallam Raju, MP from Kakinada and MOS in MMS Ministry candidly admitted he could not deliver Kakinada-Pithapuram line, a sanctioned project mooted 60 years ago and cannot do it as long as Lalu Prasad is the Railway Minister. Pallamraju Did not elaborate why Lalu is against it but is so vexed with his Cabinet colleague’s indifference that he had commented in the media that only a new Railway Minister might concede the long-pending demand.

Though dawning of wisdom is better late than never, it is more than a coincidence that these gentlemen became wiser after enjoying power and position to its full in their respective tenures.

Except for Valluri Basava Raju, who commanded respect for his erudition and oratary skills, and Vadde Shobanadeeswara Rao to some extent I dont think any other MP from AP commanded any respect nay recognition in Delhi. This is uniformly applicable cutting across party lines. Is this due to the unique DNA of Andhras who have the crab trait.

Anyway BJP owes an explanation to Andhras on Krishnam Raju's reasoning.Mere contradiction will not do. Bandaru Dattatreya, who himself was MOS Railways should react or confess.
