Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy is strategically choosing winning candidates.
The selection process is crucial as his personal stake in victory is high. Unlike Chandrababu Naidu, Jaganmohan Reddy's approach to denying tickets is under scrutiny.
For instance, Naidu denied the ticket to Vijayawada MP Kesineni Nani. He communicated with him with personal concern and so there wasn't any problem. Kesineni himself revealed the situation on social media without criticizing Naidu.
However, there are reports of discontent among those denied seats in the YCP.
Notably, leaders like Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, YV Subba Reddy, Vijayasai Reddy, and Mithun Reddy are communicating with those who were denied tickets.
The attempts of such candidates to communicate their concerns to CM Jagan were also made unsuccessful by the above bigwigs in the party.
Adding to this the style of communication is either hurting or insulting as per the disappointed candidates.
Some disgruntled members have resigned and joined other parties due to perceived disrespect in the ticket allocation process. This recurring pattern may negatively impact the party's image among the public.
The question arises: why is the ruling party neglecting the adverse effects of its internal dynamics on public perception?
The answer may lie in Jagan's autonomy in ticket distribution, leaving sitting representatives discontented and questioning the party's political strategy.
Everything is fine except the desired direct communication of Jagan Mohan Reddy with those who are denied tickets.
