Scuffle in Andhra and the stability that followed by Puneet Rajhans

Scuffle and stability

As things begin to look settled in the State of Andhra, following no discovery of scam and its lost-and-traced siblings, the events of the past few days had no disproportionate element to divide our attention.

After Vivekananda's reported scuffle with niece Jagan Reddy on which Jagan never wrote a letter to Cong Chief, Vivekananda reportedly took oath and wrote a letter to this effect to the same chief. The letter that Jagan had written to Cong Chief was a five-page effort, the entire exercise lasting more than a day as facts had to be collected on days of humiliation and days of separation from family when he went on the most visible State Yatra to date that only his followers took note of with the high command taking note of the other batch of arrivals and departures of followers in its camp.
The letter by Jagan penned his thoughts to steer clear of any high command whatsoever and anoint himself the high command of all seasons. When the letter reached Delhi the Cong Chief was away in Rae Bareilly and the person who read and spoke to the media was our very own Moily. Well he could barely hide his glee and his brief to the media was more volcanic eruption was in store for the State of Andhra. So as Vivekanada erupted from Jagan's stage and expressed his loyalty to Cong, having not done so for the past 14 months due to the suffering he underwent at the hands of Jagan and Jagan Ki Janata, he was manhandled and maltreated, never handed by a niece to an uncle in the recorded and preserved history of the State.
Some explained Vivekananda's last turn to take oath to his preoccupation with writing a letter longer than Jagan to Cong Chief on bruises he suffered at the hands of Jagan and how he hoped to return the favour soon. The letter having been dispatched and he having taken the oath, it was time for him to head home and secure the much-needed breather. Having been assigned the portfolio of cutting-jagan-to-size-in-record-time, the uncle took the first step in this direction by visiting the niece the next day to have some more exchanges, the details of which are not available with you and me.
Days later the pressure mounted on this Vivekanada to recuse himself from that responsibility thrust on his shoulders and his firm view that it would be the last thing on his mind. This responsibility opens a direct line of communication with the high command which not only needs to be apprised of Jagan's dwindling status in the state and his reported fall in income following the flow of followers in the political and business community from his stable.
As the political turf looks set to embrace a ring of stability, the query doing the rounds is who all would be engaged in scuffle here and there and would the same be reported to the high command through letters as phone conversations are the last acts to be pursued in the times we live in and the means through which we earn our livelihood.
