Social engineering is a skill that Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy has mastered, particularly in the allocation of seats.
Taking the example of Narsaraopet Parliament Constituency, which consists of seven Assembly Constituencies, a close observation reveals a strategic distribution of tickets.
Out of the seven, three were allocated to the Reddies, two to the Kammas, and two to the Kapu community. Notably, the parliamentary constituency was assigned to a BC candidate, sidelining the influential Lavu Sri Krishna Deva Rayalu.
What stands out is YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's apparent lack of constraints regarding obligations, nepotism, or hesitation in excluding certain key candidates from the contest.
Now, let's contrast this with Chandrababu Naidu's approach. In the same Narsaraopet Constituency, out of the seven Assembly seats, five were granted to Kammas, one to the Reddy community, and one to the Kapu community. Interestingly, the parliamentary ticket was also given to a Kamma candidate.
This highlights that Chandrababu lacks expertise in social engineering and is deficient in courage and trust. He cannot be considered a champion of social engineering in ticket allocation, succumbing to nepotism, obligations, caste equations, and various other factors.
While Narsaraopet is used as an example, a similar pattern is observed in almost every constituency by Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Whether this method will secure votes is a separate question; however, it serves as an indicator of Jagan Mohan Reddy's boldness in making decisions with clarity and courage.
