Jagan to change more than 60% sitting MLAs?
At each party conference, Y S jagan Mohan Reddy, the leader of the congress PARTY' target='_blank' title='ysr congress-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">ysr congress and the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh, has sounded quite bullish about achieving his goal of winning 175 out of 175 assembly seats in the upcoming elections in 2024. However, it appears that the YSRC is dealing with more anti-incumbency than anticipated in a number of the state's constituencies. A recent survey by the indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), the political strategy consulting firm engaged by the party, yielded this response, according to party sources.
People are not particularly opposed to the schemes and programmes that jagan is implementing, but it appears that they are unhappy with how the local MLAs are performing and their unscrupulous behaviour. According to information obtained, the I-PAC conducted a study on the effectiveness of the MLAs, as well as their advantages and disadvantages as compared to telugu desam party leaders at the constituency level. Along with gathering input on the current YSRCP MLAs, the team looked at the popularity trends of the rival candidates.
The I-PAC also disclosed that there are numerous YSRC groups in different constituencies, and that could ultimately have an impact on the party's prospects. It also looked into how much the tdp has grown and whether there are any internal divisions within the party. The I-PAC teams gave jagan a report outlining which districts he should replace the MLAs in and why. The team has reportedly indicated that if the party is to win these seats, at least 60% of the current MLAs need to be replaced by newcomers.
Jagan does not, however, only rely on the results of this survey. In order to compare their response with the I-PAC team report, he is directly interacting with different groups of people inside the constituency. "He will only seek to have the MLAs in these constituencies changed if his own criticism coincides with that of I-PAC. He might give the MLAs additional time to work on improving their performance so he can feel more confident, the party insider continued.
