The state's bifurcation decision of CWC led to huge agitations across Seemandhra. The agitations were intensified when the AP NGOs called for indefinite strike. Ashok Babu, the president of the employees had been glorified as one of the heroes of Seemandhra. Whatever the trash he uttered, the media used to give a great coverage for it. It was also rumoured that he worked for the benefits of then CM, Kiran Kumar Reddy. Both of them acted amazingly as Samaikyandhra activists, as per analysts.
It is a known news that union minister Chiranjeevi demanded for the UT status of Hyderabad for the first time. Ashok Babu made intense criticism on Chiranjeevi's demand. And now, this Ashok Babu met BJP's head Narendra Modi and Chandrababu Naidu yesterday and requested for the UT status of Hyderabad. Thus, Ashok Babu proved himself that he was no less than a chameleon. Analysts say this is the strategy of CBN to make Ashok Babu putting in this demand in front of Modi for the benefits of both the TDP and the BJP. Interestingly, Ashok Babu, who was projected as a great hero by Seemandhra people a few months ago, have been forgotten by the same people now.
