The no-confidence motion moved by the Telugu Desam Party against the Kiran Kumar Reddy government in the state has been defeated as expected, without giving scope for any miracles.
But one wonders what the TDP has achieved by moving the motion.
On Monday morning itself, the TDP leaders were found commenting during the television debates that there was way the no-confidence motion would win because the ruling party obviously had the majority in the House.
“The chances of no-confidence motion winning are more only if the difference between the number of ruling party MLAs and that of the opposition is very thin; or if a big group of the ruling party breaks away to form another splinter group,” observed former TDP minister Kodela Sivaprasada Rao.
Then why did the TDP go ahead with the no-confidence motion and what did it achieve? The answer is nothing. If wants to test the strength of the Jagan group MLAs, then one wonders how does it benefit Naidu?
On the other hand, if they are disqualified and by-elections are held, there is no way the TDP will benefit out of it because it has little chances of winning those seats. Even if the Kiran Kumar Reddy government lost the trust vote resulting in mid-term elections, it would not have helped the TDP at all, as the party absolutely no chances in the Telangana region.
So, Naidu only messed up the state political scenario. In a way, he has helped YSR Contgress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy to strengthen further.
