These are the days of competitive politics. If there is any burning issue concerning the people, political leaders react quickly within minutes of the issue erupts.
For the opposition parties, the sooner they take up the issue, the more will be the political mileage they get.
People like the leaders who respond to their problems instantly and moreso, those who come to them without losing time.
That is why YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy responds to any problem within minutes and if necessary, he prefers to go the problem area within hours to console the affected people, whether it is bus accident at Nandigama or red chilli crisis in Guntur market. That is the attribute of a true leader.
In this regard, power star and Jana Sena Party president Pawan Kalyan is lagging behind. No doubt he responds to issues, but very belatedly. By the time he reacts, the issue would get resolved more or less.
Take for instance, the chill farmers’ issue. He reacted on the issue more than a month after the crisis spread across the Telugu states and the Centre responded to some extent with support price. What Pawan did was to attack the Centre for meagre price and discrimination between Andhra and Telangana.
On the appointment of TTD executive officer, too, Pawan reacted very late after the official took charge. And he linked it to a silly argument of north-south divide, without realising the fact that the gods do not discriminate between north and south.
