Political Atmosphere In AP Favouring YSRCP

Amaravati: With the electoral atmosphere kicking in, the state's political equations are rapidly changing. As the people's opinion is getting clear, along with senior politicians, neutralists also are taking initiative on their future political action.

It is noteworthy that the senior political leaders in their respective districts and constituencies, the ones who have been away from politics for some time and the new political leaders are all in favour of YSR Congress party.

A large number of leaders and activists from across the state are joining YSRCP. With these developments, the YSR Congress is preparing for electoral equilibrium.

The failure of the Chandrababu Government in almost all sectors during the five-year governance is influencing the political leaders.

People are deeply upset with the TDP government's fraudulent attitude in the capital city construction, farmer and DWCRA loan waiver. It is being identified that the progress of the state has declined with the government giving up on the Special Category Status.

Strong opposition is being formed against Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu, his son Nara Lokesh, Ministers, TDP MPs, MLAs over their indulgence in corruption. On the other hand, Leader of Opposition YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's Padayatra was well received by the people across the state and also gained nation-wide recognition.

People are responding positively to YS Jagan's welfare and development programs which will be implemented in the name of Navaratnas if he comes to power. According to the surveys conducted by national channels, it was revealed that YSRCP will garner a huge victory in the upcoming elections. Subsequently, Chandrababu too announced benefits for the public, however, they received no response.

With the political atmosphere in the state favouring YSR Congress, the equations are also changing accordingly. Several leaders are joining YSRCP and supporting YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's leadership. Among them are senior leaders, who have been away from politics for some time, and also those who recently ventured into politics.
