YS Jagan Mohan Reddy comes across as a very unilateral decision-maker. While this attitude and approach might have worked for him when he had 151 MLAs on his side, it most certainly seems to be working against him now, according to the latest developments within the YCP ecosystem.
Apparently, 8 out of the existing 11 MLAs are are deeply unhappy with Jagan. The root cause of this discontent is said to be Jagan’s directive to YCP MLAs not to attend the assembly session.
While Jagan happily passed the order for YCP MLAs to avoid attending the session for his own political interests, the majority of his MLAs are reportedly disapproving of this decision.
The reason behind this is that these MLAs are concerned about the repercussions their absence from the assembly could have. In order to secure funds for their constituencies, they need to raise locally prevalent issues during the assembly session so that the government can release the necessary funds. This can only be achieved if the MLAs attend the assembly.
With Jagan adamant about YCP’s absence in the house, the MLAs are worried about the consequences for their constituencies. According to sources, they fear that the people in their constituencies will soon realize their absence from the important assembly sessions and hold them accountable.
“What is the point of winning as an MLA if we are not allowed to go to the assembly?” an anguished YCP MLA reportedly vented to his close associates.
If this internal rebellion gains traction, there is a chance that YCP could split into two factions – one that obeys Jagan’s orders and skips the assembly, and the other that wants to fight in the assembly and secure the interests of their constituencies. If this happens, Jagan’s YCP will become historically insignificant.
