TDP is facing its toughest test as it has the maximum number of MLAs. When numbers are high, leaders often show off their power driven by ego and personal interests. Such actions trigger silent revolt among people and groups, leading to 100% anti-incumbency.
This happened earlier under YSRCP’s rule when it had maximum MLAs, and now the same trend is seen in the Alliance government as well.
For Example,
Achchennaidu OSD transferred AP Agros GM for not giving commission.
Dagguapati Prasad involved in shady deals and abused Jr NTR.
Srikalahasti MLA tried to grab 125 acres of forest land.
Kuna Ravikumar harassed woman principal Soumya.
Madhavireddy insulted officials on Independence Day.
JC Prabhakar Reddy defied High Court orders.
Katasani (Srisailam MLA) kidnapped and beat a forest official
Every day, from Srikakulam to Anantapur, one or the other atrocity of ruling MLAs is coming out. Unless TDP reins in its leaders and enforces discipline, anti incumbency is inevitable.
Enjoying power is not just showing audacity and harassment, but winning the hearts of all groups, including opponents, is crucial.
Both YS Jagan Mohan Reddy earlier, and now Chandrababu Naidu, are failing in their leadership in this regard, due to lack of discipline and centralized control.
