Pulla Rao's Arrogant Reasoning

Pulla Rao's Arrogant Reasoning

Anna Hazare might visit the capital region soon to express solidarity with the farmers. When a journalist mentioned this to agriculture minister, Prathipati Pulla Rao, he shot back, “What will Anna Hazare do by coming here after everything is over? In fact, visits by such kinds of people are lowering the land rates in those areas,” said Pulla Rao.

For starters, it shows the kind of respect Pulla Rao has for Anna Hazare. But he should remember one thing.

The name of Anna Hazare is synonymous with a clean image, a crusader against corruption. The government may have acquired the land by the time Anna arrives in Tulluru, but one word from him and the tag of corruption will stick permanently to the TDP regime.

Anna is no ordinary person. It was his agitation that was instrumental in spiraling discontent against the corruption of the UPA government and ultimately booting them out of office.

It was his agitation that gave birth to AAP and Kejriwal. That AAP and Kejriwal have just turned out to be black sheep is a whole different story.

So, if Anna speaks out against Naidu, it will be listened to by the entire nation. Pulla Rao will learn the lesson when he loses his deposit in the 2019 elections.
