Volunteer System

Reframed welfare delivery as "surveillance". Alleged data theft and political profiling, creating a "parallel shadow government".

Resource Mafia

Highlighted "Sand Mafia" causing unemployment and the stalled Polavaram project as symbols of administrative failure.

Case Study: The Pithapuram Corrective

Demographic Engineering

Consolidated 90k Kapu votes while simultaneously wooing BCs to avoid the 2019 isolation trap.

Countered "outsider" tag by purchasing land and announcing permanent residence. Released a "14-Point Development Formula".
