The TDP President N Chandrababu Naidu's Vastunna Mee Kosam reaches the eighth day in the Anantapur District. Initially the walk call received lukewarm response from the public. However slowly but steadily crowds started picking up and today there was a ocean of sympathizers to the 61-years old veteran who was almost walking 21 km from the last week.

This was the first leg of the walkathon embarked by the leaders and in this leg he proposes to cover the entire Anantapur District. Critics felt that Mr Babu lost the 'Midas Touch' and his Vastunna Mee Kosam, must do the needful change in building up the lost image. Looks like the TDP Supremo is on an revamp mission. The once visionary who brought real global status to the 'Andhrudu' image, has lost out badly off late. But this walk seems to have given the necessary impetus for rebuilding the cadre, as well as the image which was otherwise distorted. (With inputs from internet-AW AarKay)
