The question is related to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. That is why I consider Telangana Chief Minister Chandrashekhar Rao at number one in his list of enemies. Number two is Nitish Kumar. Number three is Sonia-Rahul Gandhi. Number four is Uddhav Thackeray. Number five is Akhilesh Yadav. Mamta Banerjee is at number six. Number seven is Hemant Soren. Number eight is Arvind Kejriwal. Stalin is at number nine. Nitin Gadkari is at number ten. Number eleven is Yeddyurappa. At number twelve are the RSS and its office bearers whom Narendra Modi must be considering as a restless soul. From BJP’s Vansudhara Raje, Shivraj Singh Chouhan to number thirteen, there are all those small leaders, whose clarification is necessary because they keep their little base among the public.
What does the bottom line draw from this imaginary list of mine? The only one is that whatever the leader recognizes and exists in the public, its cleanliness or political eradication. Because of that, another name of BJP is Yogi Adityanath. As a Hindu leader, Yogi’s image of an all India leader among Hindus is solid. He has become a self-styled great leader. The Sangh has started wanting something for them. Modi-Shah are alert with the news of this and Yogi’s future prospects. But in the election of 2024, because he is useful to Modi, he will keep his hand on his shoulder till the election. Therefore, the decisive time of Yogi vs Modi-Shah relationship will come after 2024. Yogi is out of the cleanliness list of priority for 2024.
The question is, how am I placing Chandrashekhar Rao at number one? One, there are assembly elections in Telangana before the Lok Sabha. At present, there is a hundred percent guarantee that his TRS party will win the election with pleasure. Chandrashekhar is the only Chief Minister who has boycotted Prime Minister Modi by taking a stand on his behaviour, mannerisms. They do not go to the airport to lead the Prime Minister. Was not even in the meeting of NITI Aayog in Delhi. The tone in which speeches and press conferences take place against Modi is unprecedented. The biggest thing is that Chandrashekhar Rao is the only opposition Chief Minister, who is said to be making dialogues with all the opposing Chief Ministers and leaders. In the recent presidential election, Mamta Banerjee dumped Yashwant Sinha by making him a candidate, while Chandrashekhar Rao mobilized the opposition by taking his responsibility. He is the real player behind the opposition. He also meets Kejriwal and has supported Sonia-Rahul in the ED case.
Therefore, if Chandrashekhar Rao becomes the Chief Minister after winning the assembly elections, then before and after the Lok Sabha elections, he will work to create a ground for mutual coordination, a united fight in the opposition. Knowing this, Modi-Shah will create such a Hindu-Muslim game in Telangana till the 2023 assembly elections that the Hindus of the state and the country start believing Chandrashekhar Rao to stand with Owaisi. But in the latest riots in the streets of old Hyderabad, the strictness shown by the CM to arrest the protestors and Raja Singh seems to be that they will bring a saffron shade to the party’s yellow color but will not allow it to turn green. Will not let BJP play in Telangana. Therefore, it is certain that in the coming days, the maximum raids of CBI, ED and Income Tax will fall on Chief Minister Rao and his family. If the TRS MLAs are raided, then there are also attempts to horse-trade them. The fourth part of BJP’s strategy is to buy superstars of Telugu cinema and field them against Chandrashekhar Rao. TAS leaders, buying MLAs and defection caused the same blow to topple the government in Telangana as it was given to Uddhav Thackeray. If Chandrashekhar Rao stays safe and keeps the BJP out of Telangana with all this, then in 2024 he can make a national-scale opposition game. Realizing this, it is not surprising that Modi-Shah is keeping him at number one in their list.
