To clarify, I don’t mean that he has the other good qualities of Chandrababu Naidu. I am referring to Chandrababu Naidu’s complete takeover of the party from the other more “legitimate” heirs of NTR. My impression is that Raj is much more popular among the Sainiks than his cousin. The question is, is he so [...]
J Alfred Prufrock, the pseudonymous civil servant of the blogosphere takes exception to Amit’s generalisation of a government servant’s attitude, not because the generalisation is inaccurate, but because it hurts his feelings and will discourage those few who do not fit into that generalisation.
