This time, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has taken a strong decision: winning the upcoming elections is the sole priority. It’s the right move. Once in power, everyone will rally around.
In politics, power is the ultimate goal—there’s no second opinion on that. Jagan has already begun the process of cleansing YSRCP from within. Even the current constituency coordinators aren’t guaranteed tickets for the next elections.
In this scenario, YSRCP cadres and leaders are curious to know which leaders will be sidelined and who will remain in Jagan’s close circle.
Internally, there’s a growing discussion within YSRCP that some individuals, under the guise of surveys, are misleading Jagan with distorted public opinions. Party insiders believe such individuals pose a serious threat to both Jagan and the party’s future.
Amidst all this, many YSRCP leaders are urging Jagan to break down the barrier of intermediaries and allow direct communication with him.
They question why they need to go through advisors or others to express their concerns to Jagan. There is a strong desire among leaders for an open line of communication.
Moreover, regional coordinators of YSRCP are expected to act as well-wishers of the party. However, critics argue that some are using their power to suppress those who don’t align with them.
Before fighting coalition governments, Jagan needs to focus on fixing the internal flaws within YSRCP. According to party leaders, this will only be possible if he distances himself from his current core team.
Relying solely on anti-incumbency against the coalition government won’t help, especially after a major defeat.
It would be wise for Jagan to set his own house in order first and then focus on political battles against his opponents for better results.
