Yes it is an achievement,because you often see congressmen running to 10,janpath holding slogans and complaining against the CM. YSR has crushed all his opponents in his party and outside party. He was a natural leader who was destined to serve for his state.
No one will forget his service and 1500km padyatra which made him a cm in 2004. Certainly his comeback was only possible of his good work from 2004 to 2009. He was the one and only CM from congress who implemented and worked seriously on the vision of UPA chairperson and Congress president Mrs Sonia Gandhi.
His funeral was attended by politicians from all parties ,Chandrababu Naidu,his rival in the state himself mentioned that He and Mr Reddy were only political rivals but personally they were good friends.
Mr Reddy has been in good touch with all the political parties and its leaders. His death is a huge loss to congress and especially for the poor in Andhra Pradesh. He was the only hope for the poor, as he was commited to serve the poor through Aam Aadmi programmes.
Its hard for congress to find and replace another leader even close to Reddy's traits and dynamism. Congress may get back to the old history of groupism and group fights within the party like the one in 80's.
It is a great worry for the congress president Sonia,she has lost a great leader in the south who made the congress to continue the second term in office in Andhra Pradesh and also a leader who sent 33 MP's from Andhra Pradesh which made the no of congress seats to go up in the centre.
Tough times are ahead for the state of Andhra Pradesh,especially for the congress party.
