The majority of Ministers in the cabinet of Jagan Mohan Reddy are not talkative and therefore remain tight-lipped when confronted with allegations from Pawan Kalyan or any opposition party in general.
The once-vociferous ex-Minister Kodali Nani is no longer as active in confronting the opposition as before. After his recent verbal attack on Chandrababu in connection with Ramoji Rao's Margadarsi case, he has toned down his rhetoric.
Vallabhaneni Vamshi, who previously displayed loyalty through sharp words against CBN and his family, is now in hibernation.
While Lakshmi Parvathi or Kommineni speak out, they hardly make any impact.
Ex Minsiter Perni Nani, and the present Minsiters Amarnath, Roja, and Ambati Rambabu are the only few who have a strong voice to confront the opposition parties.
However, party circles believe that nobody would be interested in pushing their boundaries when they are not treated properly.
An insider said that the biggest mistake committed by Jagan Mohan Reddy is not giving proper positions to loyalists while promoting weak and ineffective candidates to positions of power.
Alla Ramakrishna Reddy was promised with a Ministry but that was not offered till now. Apart from this, the most powerful speakers in the party have become silent as the weak and dumb candidates from their same districts were promoted and given the Minsitries, while they were kept aside.
In fact, this is the time when every leader and partyman should be vocal, as elections are approaching. But they remain silent, perhaps more concerned about their own businesses and personal gain rather than safeguarding Jagan Mohan Reddy and the party.
