We know what you are thinking but then social media and Facebook has been buzzing strongly about similarities between the outgoing Sri Lankan president Mahinda Rajapakse and the Telangana CM KCR. Firstly, both men have been involved in family ruling with their kith and kin in key positions.
Secondly, Rajapakse stood as a leader for an issue on behalf of the Sinhalese and fought against the Tamil rebels LTTE. And now thinking he would get absolute victory, he went in for midterm polls and tasted defeat. Coming to KCR, many feel he is also in a kick that Telangana votes are permanently reserved for him.
But future is going to be different. The discussions reveal though Rajapakse has done a lot of development he has not focused on welfare. Even NTR/YSR went ahead with Rs 2 rice scheme and that’s why they sustained. So, it is not just development but KCR should also focus on welfare, employment and winning people’s confidence.
Praising Nizam who went against Komaram Bheem, creating dissent among local Telangana groups is not a wise thing. Though the comparisons on social media are on, KCR and team should take this as the cue and make sure that such errors don’t happen.
