Today, even Gandhiji will have to spend money if he were to contest an election. It’s a sad but inevitable truth.
In 2014, the YSRCP did not give any Party fund to its candidates for the election banking on the popularity of Jagan alone. This adversely affected the prospects of the Party in many constituencies.
Having learnt from its mistake, the Party has now sent funds to all the candidates but here’s the irony.
The candidates who have received the funds are so over confident of victory that they are not distributing the money but hoarding it rather. This problem is especially acute in East and West Godavari regions and Uttarandhra.
This being a do-or-die battle for both the TDP and YSRCP, there is no point in taking any kind of risk, especially when there are funds available.
The YSRCP candidates should realise this before it becomes too late.
