Will KCR follow YSR path?

The resignation drama of Telangana Rashtra Samithi president K Chandrasekhar Rao has ended on a farcical note. Now, the party leaders are wondering what KCR would do in the coming days to revive the party glory.
One suggestion made to KCR should follow the path shown by Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy five years ago. According to this suggestion, KCR would have to go out on a "padayatra" and tour every nook and corner of Telangana on foot, touching every doorstep. He has to ignite the Telangana sentiment among the people all over again. In a way, it should be on the lines of salt satyagraha launched by Mahatma Gandhi during the freedom struggle.
Unfortunately, KCR is no mahatma. He has all the bad qualities of a politician. Moreover, one would doubt whether he has the stamina of YSR to tour Telangana on foot. Secondly, how far KCR would be able to win back the people's confidence is doubtful.
