Undavalli Lays A Trap, TDP Ecosystem Walks Straight Into It?

Undavalli Arun Kumar, a self-proclaimed Intellectual retired from Politics after the state bifurcation.

Undavalli, however, continues to do Political Commentary on all the issues pertaining to the state calling himself impartial. But then, Undavalli cannot hide his bias and continues to come out in support of YSR Congress whenever the party is in trouble.

We have seen the former MP meeting go to Rajamahendravaram Central Jail and meet Ambati Rambabu. Talking to the media after the meeting, he bashes Chandrababu Naidu and gives a clean chit to Ambati Rambabu. Yet he claims he is impartial.

The other day, he came before the media and spoke in support of YSR Congress in the Tirumala Laddu Adulteration issue.

“SIT saying there is no Animal fat in the Ghee is a huge relief for everyone including me. Even those arrested are Hindus. Will they dare to mix Lard and Beef Tallow?,” Undavalli gave a clean-chit just like that.

Undavalli may not be apolitical but he is smart enough to mask his bias. In the Pressmeet, Undavalli praised Nara Lokesh for coming in support of A Small Vendor, Vali in the Khova Bun issue.

“Among all the things Lokesh did, this is really appreciable. Despite being in alliance with BJP, he came out and supported Vali. He even said he would taste his Khova Bun,” the former MP said.

The entire TDP ecosystem is delighted and were in a rush to carry the report about how Undavalli Arun Kumar praised Nara Lokesh. This is precisely how Undavalli manages to stay afloat despite his political bias. The TDP Ecosystem rejoices with that single statement and gives extensive coverage.

He talks about everything that benefits Jagan but adds a line or two praising other party leaders or mentioning something slightly negative about YSR Congress. He cleverly skips the Laddu adulteration issue, the fake ghee reports, and even avoids criticising the then Jagan government over the alleged 20 lakh kilos of adulterated ghee scam.

Thus Undavalli manages to stay relevant in all the media. Unknowingly, the TDP ecosystem acknowledges that Undavalli’s Views are important and relevant to AP Politics. Otherwise, who is Undavalli to praise Nara Lokesh? How does it matter if he praises or condemns Lokesh? But then, they do not understand.
