In the initial days when YS Jagan Mohan Reddy took the charge as Chief Minister, the leaders and MLAs used to fear him.
In the past, Chandrababu gave full freedom to his leaders and MLAs during his rule. That led to several irregularities and resulted in losing the public faith. Many thought that Jagan was taking care not to get into such a problem.
But after two and half years of rule, Jagan Mohan Reddy looks like going easy on his party cadre and MLAs. He seems to be giving me a free hand now. But nothing is left to do in Jagan's rule.
The leaders can bank on controversial land settlements, lobbying for transfers etc. As these are not connected to the general public, there can be no damage to public faith in the party.
But the casinos in Gudivada are something that affect the public directly. Kodali nani is openly exposed with his casinos.
It is true that Nani is defending YS Jagan Mohan Reddy in every cause. But that doesn't give him the license to let him do whatever he can. Public is watching. That should be kept in mind.
Besides, postponing the curfew owing to the pandemic, just keeping the Kurasala Kannababu's brother's movie release may also come under this as per the public opinion.
Though Jagan's government is making the poor people happy with various schemes, the attack of opposition media is continuing. At this juncture if the party leaders are left with liberty, things may go wrong eventually.
Keeping the people aside, if the party cadre feels that Jagan is going light on various issues, then the leaders may emerge with their selfish plans which may ultimately impact the party and the government.
So it is time for Jagan Mohan Reddy to think twice before taking any decisions.
