Now with the elections over, it's time to scramble for the numbers. Telugu Desham Party (TDP) chief Chandrababu Naidu is busy not counting the chicken before they hatch, but trying to check out which are the chicken that he can woo and bank on to get the golden eggs.
The TDP office in Hyderabad is buzzing with activity nowadays. Chandrababu Naidu is back after a very short break in the US. Party workers from all over have been summoned to give their account of what went right and what went wrong in the run up to elections.
Elections and campaigns may be over but for Chandrababu Naidu, it is miles to go before he sleeps. He has been having marathon meetings to study the strengths and weaknesses of his party in each district and constituency. The joke around here is that he neither rests nor allows others to rest.
In between, there are behind-the-scenes liaisons with political allies and possible future partners. Naidu knows these are precarious times, so he is keeping the media at bay, even as he works out the many permutations that could make a winning combination.
