(After the advent of Praja Rajyam Party(PRP) into the political arens of Andhra Pradesh, the worst affected party is Telugu Desam Party (TDP). As we can see, almost 90% of the PRP's high command belongs to TDP's ex. It would be interesting to see how TDP's chief would come out to combat this.)
Few of the small or two tier leaders in Andhra Pradesh, are sure that a 'Nama-smarana' would give them power (or atleast money): That is Telangana. It all started with Mr.Chandrasekhara Rao, who came a long way in the politics, from just being an MLA of TDP. Thanks to his caprice, we havent seen any progress in either Telangana or Telangana issue. But, it has won a great mileage for his political career and probably to his family also.
Since then, lot of people became interested in the issue: starting from the Telangana Congress MLAs, then BJP, Ms.Vijayashanti till the latest ex-TDP leader, Mr.Devendra Gowd. All of these want to 'bring' Telangana.
Apart from this issue, which broke TDP twice, once by MR.Chandrasekhara Rao and later by Mr.Devender Gowd, TDP has seen only 'lows' in the past 5 years. After being in power for nine consecutive years, its ironic to see TDP struggling to maintain itself intact for just one period of opposition.
With the new political debutante Mr.Chiranjeevi, TDP had two loose its district level leaders to him. Tammineni Sita Ram, Bhooma Nagi Reddy, Ramachandrayya, Trimurthulu are some of the significant people who left the party for the new color. This definitely is a matter of headache to Mr.Naidu on how to prevent these 'party-hops'.
After being a stauch 'Samaikya Andhra' supporter, TDP cader finds it tough to voice the pro-Telangana state formation this elections. On top of that, Mr.Naidu's plans of striking an alliance with TRS, is much to the distaste of most of the TDP's members.
Another embarrasing situation was the No-confidence voting at the Centre. While Mr.Naidu was busy playing strategies at the central level by his UNPA, 2 out of his 5 MPs has voted pro-Congress. Though the reunion of NTR family for the sake of the elections could be benifitting TDP, we will have to wait and see, how far they can pull it up.
We have to admit that its really tough to 'stay' in opposition for a Regional party, unless it has an alliance at the National level. That is because, the party cannot keep its cader happy, by giving them some central level posts like Governors, Rajya sabha seats, Central ministries etc., as in the case of a National party. Probably, Mr.Naidu would regret for not being with BJP!
But, its also clear that its not tough to win an election inspite of all this. Afterall, Mr.NTR has won the power with entirely new set of people and he built the party cader of TDP.
