“Godavari Pushkaraalu“. The festival of River Godavari which occurs once in 12 years. The pushkaram festival last held in the year 2003.

Now again after 12 years, in 2015, it is going to be celebrated again. This year Pushkarams are called 'Maha kumbhamela' which actually comes once  in 144 years. So this year the Telugu states are planning to celebrate it in a wide range.

Last time, it was celebrated when the states are united and this is the first time to celebrate it separately. Telangana CM, KCR is making all special arrangements for pushkar, keeping in mind the situations faced last time. He assured to clean the contaminated water and provide fresh water for pushkar. 

But, now the buzz is, how come it is possible to provide water instantly and more over, it is not few hundreds or thousands who turn for this pushkar, but lakhs and lakhs of people. The neighboring states and also the people who believe in this pushkar, might turn out from any corner of the country. Providing the proper facilities to all of them is questionable. Moreover the safety is another important aspect, as many turn out for this pushkar with complete families including kids. So the officials should be in a position to provide proper safeguarding facilities to all of them.

Leaders like Chandrababu Naidu who has vast experience in leading and ruling the state might tackle these situations to some extent. Though after taking the proper measures by such seniors itself, there are still serious consequences last time. While KCR, who has political experience but not ruling, is now a big question of whether he could tackle this. If he fails, the situations in and around the state turn worse for him and oppositions might use this as a chance.

Lets hope that he accomplishes this task successfully and prove to those oppositions that experience is nothing to rule a state in sensitive issues.
