After the triumphant victory of the Alliance and forming the government in Andhra Pradesh, the newly sworn-in ministers Pawan Kalyan, Nara Lokesh, and Vangalapudi Anitha made a clear statement that there wouldn't be any vengeance politics in their rule, but that law and order would be applied accordingly and legally wherever misdeeds were found in the rule of the previous government.
However, contrary to this, three TDP leaders are behaving differently and intimidating general employees, which may eventually backfire and put TDP's image bad in the view of general public.
The first leader is Ayyannapatrudu, who is seen intimidating road works employees by using vulgar language and threatening them with serious action for bad quality roads. Videos are circulating that portray Ayyannapatrudu using foul language towards government employees.
Next is Atchennaidu, who called on his party workers to wear 'yellow badges' and go to government offices to get any works done. He said that if there is any resistance from government officials, he would use his ministerial power to take action on them. This is also an indirect threat to government employees.
"Atchenna said only about 'yellow badges' assuming that it is whole and sole TDP government. But it is not so. It is an Alliance government. We have to see if Janasena head and BJP president also seconds with Atchenna's advice and tell their party workers to go with 'Janasena Badges' and 'Saffron Badges' as well", mentioned a netizen.
Another leader, Ganta Srinivas Rao, caused a commotion by visiting Rushikonda Resort and making premature statements that could provoke a section of people and potentially create unrest in the state.
When the top brass of the party is stating one thing and other leaders are behaving differently, it speaks to a lack of discipline within the party and the government system as a whole.
The top brass is winning the hearts of the people by saying 'no' to personal vengeance politics. However, at the same time, other ministers and leaders are overacting with their immaturity, which needs to be corrected.
