The concept of Padayatra was introduced by the late Y S Rajasekhar Reddy and it brought him a lot of success. Today, it is adopted by his arch rival Chandrababu Naidu and he is also getting few benefits. But with the arrival of YSR’s daughter Sharmila into the scene with her Padayatra, the competition has increased.
Her initial phase of ‘Maro Praja Prasthanam’ has started on a positive note and the response is good. But now it looks like Sharmila is taking the wrong turn in her Padayatra. Wherever she is addressing the public, her focus is more on attacking the congress government and TDP. But this is not something the people are looking at.
They want someone to listen to their problems and some assurance that those problems will be taken care of. Political parties blaming each other have vexed the common man. So it is better Sharmila changes her route or else all her efforts will go waste.
