The highly publicized corruption charge sheet which the grand alliance submitted to the president did not find any mention in the national print and TV media. This lack of coverage has caused great levels of disappointment in the delegation that went to Delhi. Advani for one dismissed the allegations offhand.The jantar mantar dharna which was planned amidst huge media fanfare was a non-event. Deve Gowda was conspicuous by his absence. The BSP too did not bother turning up for the event in spite of repeated requests.
So poor was the response that Raghavulu returned the very next day. The only mileage they could squeeze was the third front projection, which to a certain extent was successful. Chandrababu to his credit kept a brave front and termed the Delhi trip a success. He firmly believes that the Congress is on the back foot and thi trip will ensure that a nervous YSR will be on the defensive.
