You utter a word in Marathi and they would empty the backdoor godown of appreciation if you are a non-Maharashtrian. See the Marathi channels. That’s how many Maharashtrians are.
To go a little back, when Chandrababu Naidu was a toddler, coordination was par excellence among Telugus and Marathis. The basic union movement was raised on the foundation and pillars that Telugus constructed. They knew and spoke Marathi so well, that after an hour long lecture when the orator’s name was declared as say, Reddy, the workers, attending the meetings, had an expression of awe on their faces, unlike a one-word-wow of the day.
Construction worker in building construction business was too a Telugu specialty. They gave their sweat to Mumbai, literally. Anybody might have ruled Mumbai and Maharashtra, yet there was no clash among them and Marathis, whatsoever, as they worked honestly, establishing brotherhood with local people.
On this backdrop, the ex-Chief Minister of Andhra comes to the border as if invading a different country, eats biryani, sleeps in an air-conditioned room after that, and later goes back to his state, declaring that Maharashtra police beat him up! In the history of human hospitality, no atithi has lied so promptly after a solid food offered to him.
“Put on your dancing shoes” – was a famous and popular song during the high-school-attending days of Chandrababu Naidu. Failing to recall that, he tried to act by rolling on the ground, complaining about beds. He was seen sleeping with his shoes on instead!
Maharashtra, with a large heart, didn’t object to Andhra’s dam that had brought the backwater well within the Maharashtra territory.
With such a pack of loose script, the Neta decided to shoot his lousy drama on the backdrop of Krishna water and had to run away before the Muhurta clap. Instead, he heard other kind of claps shooing him away from the scene by the local residents of the location, i.e. Babhali. That was very much cinema style.
While shooting ‘Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom’, a 1984 Hollywood film with our own Amrish Puri as a villain, in Kamshet near Lonavala in Maharashtra, 3000 people of the region helped director, Steven Spielberg with total cooperation. In Babhali those many people whisked away Chandrabbu. The difference in between the Abhineta and Neta is clear.
The second schedule of this runaway Neta was in his territory. Many mob scenes of delirium were there. But his chief minister under orders of 10, Janapth did not allow to shoot the sequel. So also the people from the Karimnager are opposed Chandrababu, which is obvious from the letters of protest appearing in Deccan Chronicle.
In 230 BC, Saatwahans of Junnar near Pune ruled Kotilingala, now Karimnagar of Andhra, a part of Telangana and part of Krishna Godavari belt. Chandrababu has come to visit and claim the water after two and a quarter centuries.
His father-in-law, NTR was an Abhineta who acted in more than 300 movies. He had seen his ups and downs after entering into politics. In the time of Chandrababu’s childhood many of the auto biographies written with titles like ‘My Son’s Father’ or ‘My mother’s Daughter’ or likes.
Chandrababu, if decides to write an auto biography could take above mentioned title. The relationship has no genetic connection as it is for the titles having son, father, daughter, mother etcetera. So it is very apt. NTR was a great actor or showman first, and a leader afterwards. That Chandrababu is not. He is a leader first and an actor afterwards, now a flop, albeit.
What a difference!
