Finally the marathon Padayatra which created many new records has come to an end. Titled as ‘Vastunna Mee Kosam’ it was initiated by the TDP president Chandrababu Naidu and at the age of 63 he walked across 1253 villages recording 2817 kilometers. The grand meeting at Vizag marked the end line for this.
So, it is time to have a look at how Babu and TDP have benefited from this whole exercise. On a negative side, the party has not seen any additions and instead some key leaders have quit TDP to join other parties. At the same time, not much difference or improvement has been seen in the cadre to the time it started ie October and today.
But on a bright side, this initiative by Babu made him a source of inspiration for all the TDP cadre leaders and it has also knocked the doors of the people who thought that TDP was down and out. This has improved the strength of the party among the people of Andhra Pradesh in a very large way and at least 35% of vote conversion is expected to happen in 2014 elections due to this.
