Siddaramaiah, the prominent political figure and the face of Congress's resurgence in Karnataka, has become renowned not only for his leadership skills but also for his unique characteristic of being a leader without a phone.
Like Jagan Mohan Reddy of Andhra Pradesh, Siddaramaiah is also a Chief Minister who refrains from carrying a mobile device.
Even in this era of constant connectivity, Siddaramaiah and Jagan have maintained their preference for a phone-less lifestyle.
Instead, they rely on their trusted personal assistant to handle all communications on their behalf. This peculiar choice has intrigued many, as it sets them apart from the modern-day reliance on smartphones.
Within their own party and among their family members, everyone is well aware of this distinct aspect of Siddaramaiah's and YS Jagan's personalities. They have adapted to the situation by connecting with them through their personal assistant, who act as the crucial link between the leaders and the outside world.
While some may view Siddaramaiah's decision as unconventional or even inconvenient in today's fast-paced world, it has not hindered his effectiveness as a leader.
On the contrary, his ability to detach from the distractions of constant connectivity has allowed him to focus more intensely on his political responsibilities and the welfare of the people he serves in vintage style. Same is the case with YS Jagan Mohan Reddy as well.
