Sentiments and detrimental patterning are part and parcel of the AP political scenario. One of these sentiments is that whichever party wins the Uravakonda assembly constituency will end up not winning the majority of the seats in the AP assembly elections. TDP won this seat in 2004, 09, and 19, and ended up losing the state assembly election.
Another such infamous sentiment that is being observed is the candidacy of Chalamalasetty Sunil who is widely regarded as one of the unluckiest politicians. Though the deep-pocketed entrepreneur entered politics several years ago, he hasn’t been able to taste full-fledged success.
In 2009, Sunil contested on PRP ticket and lost the election. Not just that, PRP was completely decimated after that. In 2014, he contested on YCP ticket and narrowly lost to TDP candidate Thota Narasimham. In the end, YCP ended up losing the election. In 2019, Sunil moved to TDP and again lost the election, and again in the end, TDP lost the election badly.
In 2024, Sunil contested on YCP ticket from Kakinada parliament constituency and this is being seen as another omen for the Jagan party as history says that whichever party Sunil contests from, ends up losing the election.
Though this might be a vague patterning and a few people might write it off as a coincidence, such things are often taken seriously. Will YCP break the sentiment of fielding Sunil and somehow winning the election or will history repeat itself and Sunil’s candidacy sentiment bring the downfall of the YCP government. Needless to say, intellectually speaking, if YCP does crash, it will be because of negative feedback and not Sunil’s candidature.
