He doesn’t listen to his own experienced Advisors. He doesn’t care about IAS officers. His social justice Deputy Chief Ministers are nowhere seen in power corridors. His party Ministers and MLAs are afraid to go near to advise him. Despite all this, YCP leaders had a little hope that party’s Number 2 leader Vijayasai Reddy would some day take initiative and change Number 1’s attitude for better. But even this hope was gone after recent events within the ruling YSR Congress Party.
In the beginning, CM Jaganmohan Reddy gave utmost importance and made Vijayasai AP Government’s Special Representative in Delhi. Besides, the YCP MP was given free hand to comment on behalf of YCP and AP and to attack Opposition all the time. Some Ministers and MLAs have asked Vijayasai recently to tell Jagan to soften his aggressive policies towards sand, real estate, opposition parties, etc.
Consequently, Vijayasai picked up some courage and raised these issues with Jagan, whose immediate reply made YCP MP fall silent permanently. Jagan just told Vijayasai not to interfere in AP affairs. He asked the MP to mind the responsibilities given to him in national capital and nothing beyond. This one incident led to a new realisation among Ministers and MLAs that there are no Number 2 or Number 3 leaders in their party. Jagan is the Only One with whole and sole power. He is Number 1 and Number 2 and so on. YCP leaders are cursing their own fate and the brute majority that people have given to Jagan.
