Y V Subba Reddy was first made in charge of the party in East and West Godavari districts, where he weakened the party's strength.
Next, he was made the in charge of Visakha and Uttarandhra regions, where the party, which had little strength, was further weakened.
Despite all this, Jagan continues to give him importance. He was appointed TTD chairman, and the image of TTD was tarnished badly during his regime.
In Visakha region his leadership saw increased factionalism within YCP, causing leaders to leave for other parties before the elections.
The party faced a significant setback in the March 2023 MLC elections for Uttarandhra graduates.
Despite this, no effective measures were taken, leading to a series of defeats that left YCP virtually non-existent in Visakhapatnam district.
The party struggled to find strong candidates, and dissatisfaction grew among those who didn't receive tickets.
Even in the fresh standing committee elections, the YCP has lost all the seats to Alliance. This is another blackmark in YV's leadership.
Internal dissatisfaction and ineffective leadership contributed to the party's decline.
A debate is ongoing within YCP about whether to remove Subbareddy or keep him, with potential changes dependent on the results of the upcoming MLC elections on the 30th.
But many say that Jagan will not keep YV away from him whatever be the outcome.
