All these years, after the demise of YS Rajasekhara Reddy, it was YS Jagan Mohan Reddy who was considered the icon for the Reddy community. But now, the mantle seems to be passing into the hands of Revanth Reddy.
It is not just because of the defeat of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YCP in the elections, but the majority of Reddys feel that he did nothing significant for them in the last five-year tenure.
They feel that he didn't give importance to the community leaders, other than to some of his core team.
In a way, Jagan encouraged non-politician Reddys to make their lives by earning but didn't encourage any politicians.
However, Revanth Reddy is making strides by placing key community members in important positions. Under his aegis, he is making sure to place the key Reddy political leaders in key positions.
Because politicians how to handle situations and build necessary bridges. Non-politicians who are not close with people cannot judge the pulse of the situation several times.
For this reason, Revanth is positioning strong Reddy politicians in all key places. This kind of maneuvering was hardly done by Jagan Mohan Reddy.
It is the respect given to the community-politicians that reflects in the people of overall community.
Observing the scenario, the Reddy community is shifting its loyalty from Jagan to Revanth Reddy, considering the latter as their community icon.
