Why should 122 people die of shock or suicide at the death of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister, Mr. YSR Reddy? The death is unexpected but surely that is not reason enough for committing suicide. It appears that Mr. Reddy was very loyal to his friends. When told of the high handed behaviour of a friend he remarked,' He is my friend. When will he throw his weight around if not when I am chief minister?' Is it possible that the people committing suicide took advantage of his protection to rape, murder, loot and grab other people's land and suddenly realised that a new leader may cut them off or even take revenge? To preempt anyone from a different group from gaining power Mr. Reddy's supporters have demanded that his son Mr. JM Reddy, a first time MP, should be made Chief Minister of the state. They have given the example of Mr. Rajiv Gandhi who became Prime Minister of India after the death of his mother, Mrs. Indira Gandhi, without having any political experience. This has angered the Congress High Command who want to put their man in place. This is what passes as ' DEMOCRACY ' in India where people have no say in who will be chief or prime minister the posts being handed to family members as in feudal times. Mr. Lalu Yadav installed his illiterate, ' angutha chaap ' wife as Chief Minister of Bihar when he was charged with corruption. When the people are treated with such contempt is it any wonder that they are taking up arms against the state? Who will save my India?
