Dear Friends

It is election time. For the first time in Andhra pradesh, the poll scene has become more unpredictable. Caste wise polarisation has become more clear with several numerically strong communities laying their claims for their due share in power and resources. How far will they be able to consolidate themselves into a politically conscious and assertive pressure groups is a curious question now. We will have to wait till May 16 for the final picture which in all likelihood will end up changing the political spectrum of this Telugu state once and for all.
