YSRCP leaders have one specific strategy, that they have been following for many years now. Of late, people have understood that strategy. But YSRCP still continues to follow the same strategy. The strategy of YSRCP is as below:
As already discussed in detail in a previous article (https://www.telugu360.com/te/ysrcp-strategy-on-bjp-and-special-status/), YSRCP leaders, including Jagan and Vijaya Sai Reddy, when talking to english media or national channels they always made sure that they won’t rub on the wrong side to the central government and wherever possible they speak good words about those national media in ENGLISH. But when the same YSRCP leaders come to AP and speak to local media, they fire on those Central leaders and say, it is only YSRCP that can bend those Delhi leaders. This has been their strategy for long.
In 2013, after Jagan released from jail, this strategy started. In Telugu Channels they fire on UPA and Sonia but in national media, Jagan used to say, if needed he can support UPA government. Recently also Jagan gave an interview to national channel and told if SCS is granted he is ready to ally with BJP.
Now the latest in this series is Vijaya Sai Reddy wrote an opinion article in English media. In that article, he lambasted Chandra Babu Naidu for the current situation (not getting SCS for AP) as he wrote..”.. in 2015, Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu himself traded away the promised Special Category Status for a “special package”, which, he has now realized, is wholly inadequate to compensate for Andhra Pradesh’s woes.” He also tried to give impression that Andhra Pradesh is let Down Not By Center But by Chandrababu Naidu as he wrote about “…particularly the mismanagement in the building of the new capital in Amaravati and the financial irregularities in the Polavaram irrigation project – to the central government.” He also blasted Chandra Babu for stating Special Category Status has become a “sentimental” and “emotional” issue for the people of Andhra Pradesh, as he wrote ..”Could something be more disrespectful than reducing a people’s struggle for their legal rights to a mere emotive display? The statements have only betrayed TDP’s stunted understanding of democratic agitation, law and policy.”
Surprising thing in this article is, it never questioned Modi for not implementing SCS for AP. In the entire article if you CTRL+F (find) the key word “Modi”, you will find it only once and it is used to criticize TDP’s exit from Modi’s government. People do not understand 2 things here – One, if Chandra Babu is reason for AP not getting SCS and letting down, why is YSRCP moving no confidence motion against center. Two, whether YSRCP has confidence or no-confidence on Modi government.
Unless, political parties in AP stop this kind of mud-slinging on each other and fight unitedly, AP can not achieve anything from center!!
