The main opposition party, TDP, has intensified its aggression, while the ruling party strategically aims to generate public opposition against the YCP for electoral advantage. This approach is adopted by various political parties seeking popularity in the elections. However, opinions suggest that the YCP is struggling to counter the TDP's strategy effectively.
Chandrababu Naidu recently criticized CM YS Jagan by portraying him as a traitor of Rayalaseema. YS Rajasekhara Reddy's efforts in diverting Krishna water to drought-prone areas of Rayalaseema were commendable. People expected YS Jagan to prioritize irrigation projects, but their hopes were dashed.
There is a perception that both Chandrababu and YS Jagan have treated Rayalaseema unfairly, despite it being the stronghold of the YCP. The majority of the assembly seats (49 out of 52) went to YCP in the last elections. Irrigation water is crucial for cultivating the fallow lands, but Jagan's failure to fulfill promises has damaged his reputation.
Chandrababu Naidu, leveraging technology, presented data on his tenure's irrigation projects and criticized the Jagan government through a power point presentation. While YCP lacks effective leaders to counter these claims, the public seems to believe Naidu's statements.
TDP and Yellow Media are actively discrediting the YCP politically in the YS Viveka murder case, creating a website dedicated to the case, the CBI investigation, and YCP's responses. Such efforts will likely influence educated and neutral individuals.
In contrast, the YCP has not focused on exposing Chandrababu's countless mistakes right from corruption deeds to political opportunism. This passivity is seen as a weakness, with the TDP gaining an upper hand in the pre-election campaign.
CM YS Jagan's lack of response to issues like the Rayalaseema irrigation projects raises concerns about his leadership. It is crucial for Jagan to consider the criticism and reevaluate his approach as a young leader to avoid potential consequences in the future.
