Why is Telangana Chief Minister KCR rehabilitating his relatives in both the Government and the party? He has studiously kept them away for some years, but now, he is bringing back those in the wilderness into key positions. If sources are to be believed, he was advised by an astrologer to do this.
Consider this. First he made KTR the party working president. Secondly, he brought back Harish Rao, who was kept outside the inner coterie for months, as a minister. He is now holding key departments like finance. Not just that. He has also brought back his daughter Kalwakuntla Kavitha as an MLC. She was in the wilderness for over a year after her shock defeat. Now she has been brought into the political mainstream again. After this, his nephew Santosh Kumar has been made a Rajya Sabha MP. The latest to join the long list is Vamsi, his another nephew. Of late, Vamsi is seen more often in the Pragathi Bhavan and is seen in meetings attended by KCR very often.
Some politicians have already begun courting him. They are befriending him so that he could offer him a short cut to get an audience with KCR. Sources say KCR is doing all these on the advice of some astrologer. True or false, one does not know. But the fact, is that the family is growing in Pragathi Bhavan.
