TDP supremo Chandrababu Naidu's padayatra-Vastunna Meekosam-seems to be creating new annals in the history of Andhra Pradesh politics. Moving among public for about ten hours a day and walking up to 20 kilometres daily, Babu has been relentlessly trying for giving moral support to the neglected, dejected and the poor in the state.

Babu seemed to have followed the words of Mother Teresa- The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. And he's in the public to try his best to take those abandoned aged into his arms and give them the warmth and confidence. Is Chandrababu Naidu's padayatra just for votes? While this has been debated and projected in some forums, Babu never mentioned anywhere to vote for TDP. This apparently shows that he was not in public for asking votes. And also with general elections not round the corner, no politician would presumably launch election campaign two years before. If we observe this basic logical point, then we might get convinced that Babu somewhere felt.. 'yes, here's the need to take up a journey into the hearts of the public...'

Even if Babu wants to come back to power, what's wrong in it, is another question being debated by some observers. All that Chandrababu Naidu wanted to do is-use the power for the welfare of the public. When a person aspires power to contribute to uplift the society, then even Gods will shower their blessings upon him/her. The same seems to be the case with Chandrababu Naidu. He went ahead and promised to uplift the lives of the physically challenged, the farmers and the women...And don't you think...innocent and poor people's hearts (where God dwells) shower their heartfelt blessings upon Babu.

In the race to do something good to people, there will be no opponents....if others who presume Chandrababu Naidu's padayatra as a tool to fetch votes and plunge into competition, they might feel Babu as an opponent and threat, but for Babu....nothing seems to be disturbed as he moves ahead with strong determination.
