Let's travel back in time and watch the things happened during United Andhra Movement. AP people turned out to be very much emotional on the division of the state. Yellow media publicized that Seemandhra Kendra Manthrulu were the only culprits of the division of the state and people believed their words. In fact, every political party except CPM was responsible for division of the state. And then TDP was the first party to have given consent letter to the union government for state's bifurcation.
Did you know? Then CM Kirankumar Reddy was the first person to have known that the Congress party had decided to divide the state. Even then, he didn't resign to his post. Instead, he encouraged Samaikyandhra activists and NGOs to intensify the movement, in spite of knowing the fact that all of them were futile attempts. Eventually, there was a great loss of man power. Thousands of crores were lost by the AP government due to strikes and bundhs. And the yellow media made him the hero of Samaikyandhra as part of their strategy.
People across Seemandhra showed their affection and respect on Nkr to the core. Life sized posters of Nkr were bathed in milk by the people. Having seen such a craze on Nkr, it was believed that Nkr would be the future superstar of AP politics.
Let's make a comeback to the present time from time travel. It appears there is no one who cares then CM. Most of the people seem to have forgot Nkr as the last CM of Samaikyandhra. While some people believed that the AP people showed ingratitude on Nkr, some more analysts analysed that the people's respect on Nkr was actually the reflection of anger on some of the charismatic leaders of AP. and it was not really the wholehearted favouritism on Nkr.
