Being a president is all about being an Effective Executive Leader, that understand the strengths and limitations of its own union and work towards the goals of the union effectively and successfully.

Look at how Political campaigns have been run so far by each leader to get a glimpse of what kind of leader they could become, if they won.

OBAMA, The Only Choice

Looking at how the Presidential Campaigns have been run so far, Obama is the only candidate that demonstrated clear and inspiring leadership skills all the while. All other campaigns have failed to even manage their finances, directed the strategies as reactions and used fire fighting skills and ‘do any thing to get those votes’ kind of low strategies.

The vision, planning, organization and execution of Obama’s whole game plan was so disciplined and bound by the same principles as indicated on day 1. No other political campaign has really stuck to anything at all.

He talked straight. He reminded individual responsibility. He reminded the role of Governments. And he walked the walk he has been preaching. He has changed the whole idea of politics and broken the traditions of politicians to become a LEADER.

Essence of Leadership

He hasn’t won yet in the Elections. But he won the hearts of millions of people not only in USA, but all over the world. He inspired millions of youngsters. What is any better trait for a leader, than inspiring millions to become leaders in their own lives and walks of life.

Consistency and Sum Of All Deeds, No Matter How Small

He did not win any big states. He did not receive any BIG contributions. He did not have BIG experience. He demonstrated that if you work hard and consistently, those little victories, those little donations and those few endorsements will one add up and become so huge that it could offset even the mammoths.  Spirit of consistency, Law of averages and no matter how small each step you take in the direction of your goals matter. They really matter.

So my pick will be, OBAMA as the President of the US.

I hope Americans really think through before they vote, Obama has demonstrated enough how he as the Chief of this nation will execute his plans. Caring, Meticulous, Thoughtful and inspiring.

"I owe my success to Andhra People and I am here to Serve them". That is what Chiranjeevi said as motivation behind entering into politics. While he hasn’t spent any money at Grand level so far to serve People, he spent crores to arrange the movie style high octane Inaugural meeting at Tirupathi. Lakhs of movie star fans from all around the state attended the function. The ‘Praja Ankita’ yatra follows the stint with equal vigor and cost.

PRP Already Began Couting Votes..

PRP and Chiranjeevi pretend for some time that the amount of people attending to the meetings as their support to his politically certain agenda and count them as real votes that could win him the election. Predictions of Godavari districts with 20,000 majority was plain stupid, but explain whats going on in PRP leaders’ minds.

Time to Show TDP’s Stardom, Money and Muscle

Now its the time for the other parties to show their so called political strength to the people of Andhra Pradesh, that people are behind them too. No political party has dearth of money or the muscle to gather masses to election meetings. Chandra Babu naidu’s ananthapur address was unbelievably attended by lakhs of people though many might have already forgotten. I was shocked to see lakhs of people turning even to Roja’s meetings these days. I don’t know what is going on in Andhra people minds, but I don’t have a clue.

On 5th November, Bala Krishna will energize the political dais with his inaugural political address in a much expensive and grandeur scale meeting. Having so much confusion on what would be his role in TDP, people are assuming the way want it to be.

Yuvagarjana is hitting the grounds on November 5th and inside news reveals that it is going to beat the standards of Chranjeevi’s show at Avilala stadium in Tirupathi on August 26th. ‘Yuvagarjana’ is going to be held at Acharya Nagarjuna University where the arrangements are being done in grand scale.

Our View: May Stir TDP cadres, but Doubtful Impact

Irrespective of the amount of masses that attend to this meeting and success or failure of the meeting,  Jagriti team do not think, it would have the kind of impact that Chiranjeevi had.

What do you think?

Watch this internal meeting broadcast, reportedly recorded and leaked (believed to be quite deliberately) out to public, where Chiranjeevi explain the political strategy of Spying on other political leaders to win in the elections.

So finally, this is what Praja Rajyam is all about?

This is the inspiration Chiranjeevi got from Abdul Kalam, Gandhiji and Mother Theresa? How cheap politicians can go? leaving the ideology aside, to win in the elections?

May be, we are too naive to expect anything different from politicians. We thought, Politics will change fro good with the introduction of Chiranjeevi, but Chiranjeevi is changing himself to fit into politics instead.

Actor turned Politician Chiranjeevi says he really doesn’t know what people are hoping him to do in Politics (as per a news report on Times of India) quoting a video. Really? But do you remember, Chiranjeevi saying the reason he was coming into politics was that ‘People are calling’ and he is replying to their call. So did he not understand why they are calling? or what they are calling for?

I think neither, as Chiranjeevi did not discuss with PEOPLE before entering into politics. He is doing that exercise now, as part of ELECTION campaign. It was a real life drama, saying I am coming as a reply to people’s call and never did have a clue about why and what they are calling for.  Is there a hidden meaning for all this?

Better people ask the people who wrote his script. Because, that is what a movie actor is used to. recite and act, probably without even understanding anything about it.

To  a certain extent, the opinion on this blog, Harivillu is correct. Chiranjeevi must display integrity in his opinions and plans, instead of beating the bush. ACTION is confusing in real life.

In the initial meeting, Chiranjeevi explained he has certain principles on what he wanted to do in Politics. But as a party, Chiranjeevi is postponing all serious decisions that shall be made on pure principles, not based on how those decisions could help him in elections. Are principles based on Election results or he wanted to fight with principles in elections? Example, PRP is not expressing their stand on Separate Telangana, as they are trying to find out a STAND that could win them elections, not as a principle. If it had to be based on a principle, it should be just black and white. YES or NO.

As we analyzed earlier, whatever anyone, including Chiranjeevi says, the motivation behind coming into politics, we strongly believe, is ‘POWER AND MONEY’.  Except LokSatta, which strongly refrain from MONEY in politics, every political party and politician out there for POWER AND MONEY. We haven’t spotted any other politician, (except LokSatta), who really want to serve People and choose Politics as his/her vehicle.

Harivillu: Chiranjeevi changed colors!! Whatz the Surprise?

For all my life so far, I heard people move to Mumbai to live their dreams. And its quite intriguing to know that people are actually moving to Hyderabad , right from Maharastra itself, to live their dreams.

In the last couple of years, a number of young professionals have crossed over to Andhra Pradesh from Maharashtra to pursue their dreams in one of the biggest IT hubs of the country, Hyderabad. In fact, some are even investing in real estate with long term plans of settling down in the city.
