The battle between the State Election Commission (SEC) and the Andhra Pradesh Government has gone to an extent of irritating the system.
Any battle between two people will hold value depending on the expected outcome.
Panchayat Elections are bound to happen. Whether they happen before the retirement of Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar or after may not have different results.
On the other hand, when YSRCP is powerful in the entire state, nothing is going to change much in Panchayat level. There is no big reason for the ruling party now in delaying the elections citing the vaccination reasons. On the other hand, Nimmagadda's seriousness to conduct the elections before his retirementis also egoistic.
Keeping this away, when the Supreme Court Justice waved the green flag to the Panchayat Elections, that proved to be a big blow to the YSRCP.
In the first place, who is giving the ideas to continue an egoistic legal fight with the SEC? The team around YS Jagan Mohan Reddy seems to be the sycophants. There might be no person close to him to advise what a wise move is and what is not.
In the whole process, what comes out is YSRCP lost in the Supreme Court. It will not be true if any legal expert around YS Jagan Mohan Reddy says that it is an unexpected judgment. If anyone says that then he cannot even be called an 'expert'.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is lacking the strong legal brains around him.
Inside sources say that though the legal team close to him knows about the result, they couldn’t dare to convey the same to him.
In that case, why should YS Jagan Mohan Reddy travel with timid people? A leader needs the loyalty accompanied with responsibility, but not mere loyalty mixed with fear. The latter one is always dangerous.
Not only in this case, YSRCP has seen knockout blows several times in the Court. People believed as long as it was said to be a political coup. But now, such interpretations also cannot be made.
So, to sum up, it is high time YS Jagan Mohan Reddy should change his team.
