There are several youngsters from the humble rural background to the highly educated urban families who jump into the party activities out of their passion and admiration towards their favorite leader. The phenomenon is the same for any political party.
They are like hardcore devotees who work for small pleasures like receiving attention from the party head with a smile or a pat. Many among them don't even expect more than that but spend their lives for a trophy relationship with the main leader.
But when they either don't get it, or when the fellow flag bearers observe that so and so sincere party worker didn't get what he deserved, the negative sparks get ignited in such a way that may catch fire to the party's glory.
It is so good to see the AP Digital Corporation Vice Chairman along with his team travelled all the way to Bangalore to extend condolences to the family of the deceased party worker Shyam Sundar. Even Dr Guru Murthy, the newly elected Tirupati MP did the same. But it should be noted that this happened only after the Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy expressed his condolences to the family of Shyam Sundar.
Recently another hardcore YSRCP worker Harikrishna Yadav was succumbed to Covid-19. The news of his death was not brought to the notice of the Chief Minister by the cadre. As a result the CM couldn't express his condolences. As an effect, none from the party cadre responded to his death other than a couple of phone calls by YV Subba Reddy and Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy to Harikrishna's family members.
The teams that travelled to Bangalore to pay tribute to Shyam Sundar would have also made a trip to Ongole on their way to meet Harikrishna's family members. Probably, they might have ignored assuming that the news has become old. But that's a blatant mistake.
This is to bring to the books of YSRCP leaders that every Minister or MLA or MP or the Digital Media team should feel responsible to hail the deceased party workers. They should also feel it their duty to bring any such news to the notice of the CM without fail.
That brings ample confidence to the existing party workers and they work with more dedication with a feeling that their lives will be taken care of by their love towards the party and their death will be hailed.
Party workers at the grassroot level are very important. As long as they are intact, the party will be protected. Let YSRCP keep away from such mistakes committed by the TDP leaders. One of the reasons for the present plight of TDP is the insensitivity of its leaders towards the families of the deceased party workers.
