It is for the first time that KTR has openly acknowledged the contribution of Chandrababu Naidu in the development of Hyderabad.
Political observers say KTR’s comments only reflected the latest “Welcome” VELKAM to be precise – Velama and Kamma bonhomie phenomenon in Telangana politics.
The TRS is strongly wooing the Kamma community to take on the Reddys, who are backing the Congress party it looks like.
In turn, Naidu also needs the friendship of the TRS through which the Kammas of Telangana would muster support for the TDP in Andhra.
So both Babu and KCR are wooing Velkam for the future and coming back to power in the next elections. The MD of a popular TV channel who is close to Babu is anchoring this Velkam strategy it is reported.
How far this will work against the Reddys is to be seen
