The Secret Behind The CM's Fury

• Chandrababu furious with the state of pushkarams’ work
• Orders from CM’s office as per Babu’s fury
• Higher officials raising curtains to the actual drama

Vijayawada: CM Chandrababu examined the work pertaining to Krishna River’s pushkarams in Vijayawada. He grew furious at the state of the work and warned against delay, particularly while facing the media’s cameras. Immediately, the yellow media started to focus on Babu’s concern about the work and his particularity about punctuality. But the real drama lies beneath this pretense.

Arrangements prior to pushkarams

In fact, pushkarams are not a flash news. Everybody knows well in advance that the pushkarams of River Krishna would be in the second week of August. So budget allocations would obviously happen at least six months prior. It is customary to appoint an IAS officer to handle such crucial tasks. That officer usually carries out the required work in collaboration with the concerned collectors and other officers. But Chandrababu’s rule does not follow such customs in order for the jobs to not finish in a regular fashion. His philosophy is to have every bit of work under his nose. So no officer has been appointed. Tenders are not being called for even after budget has been allocated.

Fury expressed as planned

Chandrababu has gone to examine pushkarams’ work along with certain followers and staff, while making sure the media was there too. He gathered as much anger and disgust as he could upon seeing the delay in the work. He mercilessly warned the officials to complete the work soon, so that the media could catch the depth of his anger. With the issue of orders from the CM’s office in this direction, actual drama will unfold.

Nomination system is meant for sheer robbery

As soon as the CM shouted at the officials about fast completion of work, the yellow leaders landed there. As there is not enough time before the commencement of pushkarams, the work will now be allotted through nomination. The need for inviting public tenders has been safely bypassed. Crores of rupees will be given away to TDP leaders and robbery will be accomplished as much as possible, getting work done for the formality of it. Cheques will be hastily released for getting work done through nomination. There nobody to care for and ask about the quality of work anyway.

Work for Godavari pushkarams were handled exactly in the same way. The yellow media wrote in acclaim of Chandrababu and TDP as usual at that time. The same scene is ready to be repeated now again for Krishna pushkarams.
