Believe it or not CM Kiran Kumar Reddy has been rated as the most popular politician in Andhra Pradesh after his speaking out his mind and writing to congress high command that he was opposed to bifurcation of state .But all it took was one single press meet to change the whole tide of hostile press and criticism into a swelling fan following on his facebook account.. Well, after Saturday’s press meet, there has been a tremendous spike in his fan following.
Whether it was a strategy or a genuine feeling from the heart, Kiran was can did enough to revolt against the high command decision and made it clear that dividing Andhra Pradesh would bring only doom than boom. His frank and rational statements made him a hero overnight and even all those who never cared about him are also moved by his guts.
Perhaps this is the first time in the history of Indian politics that a CM has gone against his party’s historic decision. And as expected, many of his colleagues from Telangana have started backlashing him. But those of Seeandhra are hilarious and jubilant .CMO officials say that he has been getting thousands of emails every day praising his guts and hundrds of phone calls to thank him for standing up for Seemandhra .' Other politicians would have buckled under pontif pressure and did their bidding. Few could oppose like Kiran' one of the Facebook or Twiter account did
So Kiran beat two birds- media and his political critics with one stone , nee one press meet and gained immense personal public popularity with this master stroke . His fan following and popularity has now made congrress high command hesitant to seek his resignation as well ?
