The current state of the YCP indicates that the party is struggling after a significant defeat, with recovery only just beginning.
The loss has shaken them, but with public dissatisfaction over Chandrababu Naidu’s government still fresh, Jagan and YCP leaders are slowly regaining momentum. YS Jagan is focused on strengthening the party from within.
However, during this vulnerable phase, opposition forces have used Sharmila as a means to weaken the YCP further.
The property dispute between Jagan and Sharmila has become intense, with some allies suggesting that Sharmila's approach has been successful.
YCP leaders allege that YS Jagan narrowly avoided jail time due to Sharmila’s actions, claiming that if he hadn’t recognized his sister's alleged plans, he would have faced severe legal challenges.
Now, YCP leaders are striving to keep the property dispute in focus, responding exclusively to Sharmila's claims for several days. They assert that Sharmila received her fair share during the YS regime and emphasize that no injustice has been done to her.
This ongoing issue has forced YSRCP to hold daily press briefings with top leaders addressing the dispute.
Caught in this quagmire, the party finds itself unable to counter the government’s policies effectively, placing it in a challenging position for an opposition party.
