Asha KIRAN The Ultimate Unifier

Telugu Media and the National Media is overwhelmed as the Former Chief Minister of United Andhra Pradesh Shri  Nallari Kiran Kumar Reddy rejoins Congress in the presence of Congress President Shri Rahul Gandhi…all thanks to Shri M M Pallam Raju former Union Minister.

I am happy not because he chose to come back…instead I’m overwhelmed that I got an opportunity to personally meet this Humble Humane

It was on the 9^th July 2018 that my good friend Akula Bhagyalakshmi who was active in Jai Samaikya Andhra movement, managed an appointment with him.

Both of us reached his Residence in Hyderabad like late lateefs…but he was very kind to accommodate the delay. Hyderabad mein aisa hicch hota hai!!

His residence is beautifully designed simple yet sober. As we enter there’s a small waiting area outside his Study or Meeting room. Minimal opulence, with an eye to protect the priceless Vintage woodwork.

We were made comfortable as some one was inside with him. A short chitchat with Mr. Kethiry Srinivas Reddy, a very close friend and associate of Kiran Kumar Reddy, before we were invited to his chamber.

We entered little excited little anxious as to how will he respond to us…Namaskaram was promptly reciprocated by the kurta clad Kiran Kumar Reddy, with a gentle smile on his studious face. He gestured us to be seated in the chairs across his desk.

A cozy little office room with well maintained vintage wooden furniture…very subtle and minimal. As I’m not a Political enthusiast I thought it better to observe the Trio discuss. Garrulous as I am couldn’t refrain from joining the conversation for a good half an hour. He is very friendly and easy going.

The topics were any body’s guess United Andhra Pradesh and the Divided Andhra Pradesh…

The Humble man spoke elaborately on the fight against Congress to stop the Bifurcation…every word was soaked in pain what he still feels for the loss of Telugu people.

 Hats off to the leader in him who refused to become a Politician…he is still only wanting to fight for the rights of Andhra Pradesh. In my opinion he wouldn’t have been in Politics had he another option to fulfill the promises made by the Central Govt during the Bifurcation.

As we heard him speak today saying his Loyalties for Congress Party date back to his Father’s time, he strongly believes that if the Twin Telugu States have to benefit from Center then both should be ruled by Congress. His Heart beats for both the States…he won’t give up till he ensures the Re Organization Act.

One important point that I will underline is that he is absolutely thorough with every minute details of the State and Center..be it Politics or Policies or Problems. It will be challenging for his team to match his vigor .

I sign off on an optimistic note that He Will Bring The Much Required

Special Status to the State

Re Organisation Act to be Implemented

Special Incentives

Universities

Backward Area Development

Rayalseema Uttar Andhra Development

Kadapa Steel Plant

AIIMS in both Andhra and Telangana

List is long but I’m sure an able Administrator like him can achieve the impossible….lets all Welcome this Ray of Light or Asha Kiran
