The basic ability required for any politician in a democracy is the readiness to mingle with people. Depending one twitter and a couple of dailies and TV channels can never be equaled to interacting with the people directly.
Media and Social media support can be considered only as eyewear while reaching the people physically is an eye. What will be the use of an eyewear when the eyes are blind?
The plight of Nara Chandrababu Naidu, Lokesh and Pawan Kalyan is miserable. They are still in their fool’s paradise that they can make their presence felt and bring some change in the next election with their political moves on twitter.
Chandrababu never believed in the power of padayatra until 2004. He has also given an interview to a news daily then by ridiculing YSR that padayatras will not bring power. Within a few days after that interview YSR had won with a thumping majority and dethroned CBN.
Later CBN also followed the footsteps of YSR with padayatra. In history, whenever Chandrababu won it was with the BJP wave in the center (both in 1999 and 2014). He was always a failure whenever he contested without external support.
The main reason is he was never a peoples’ leader. He was only a politician for businessmen and contractors.
Despite eating a knockout blow in 2019 elections still CBN and Pawan Kalyan are believing in twitter politics and not stepping out to interact with people.
Pawan has become popular for his retweets of BJP leaders’ tweets. His aimless and directionless political tweets are confusing the small section of people that follow his twitter account. He is almost forgotten by the majority section of people who expect his physical appearance at their place.
Well, even in Corona times, many citizens are distributing essentials and feeding the migrant workers. CBN and Pawan also might have done the same. They might have at least copied the idea of Sonu Sood in sending migrant workers to respective places.
CBN might have understood that he can never mould Lokesh as per his wish. So he himself is walking in Lokesh’s path and increased the time he has been spending on twitter. But in the process he is switching off the TDP bulb, which is already as dim as a bed light.
The bottomline is mere twitter politicians can never ask for power. They can enjoy their retired life.
