Orphans All

Andhra politicians have the knack of becoming orphans. This happens while in power, or after, or even in death.

See the case of P.V.Narasimha Rao. A person who ruled the country wisely through wily means for five years (without the blessings of the dynasty) was given an unceremonious funeral after force-shifting of the body and his belongings thrown out of the official accommodation soon after. Nobody remembers him on his birth or death anniversary.

Let us see the fate of N.T. Rama Rao, who was thrown out of power by Indira Gandhi only to have her hand cuffed and experience the mortification of his triumphant return to power, was thrown out again by none other than his son-inn-law and man-Friday, Chandra Babu Naidu. The package included the 'footwear' treatment. He had to sulk in the company of his new bride Lakshmi Parvati and only after his death his statues get an occasional garland.

Lakshmi Parvati's taps went dry with NTR's downfall and his subsequent death made her an irrelevant politician only to be used by media for occasional abusing of Chandra Babu Naidu.

Now see the great mass leader Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy. His is a peculiar predicament. Whether his legacy belongs to Congress or YSR Congress (Jagan) or falling between two stools. (Psst.. Was he bumped off only to market his fibre glass statues manufactured in China?).

Rosiah was a born orphan. Nobody shed any tears on his return to oblivion.

The quickest journey to orphanage is that of Chiranjeevi. He and his assorted brothers-in-law, etc will be under the care of his foster mother at Delhi.

There are other 'seniors' like Vekataswamy (aspiring for the President's post), ex-CM Janardhan Reddy, etc whom we don't see any more and whose nuisance value has also been choked off.
