In politics, visibility and activity decide survival. Leaders who stay connected with people earn relevance, while those who remain silent slowly fade out. Right now, CM Chandrababu Naidu is making sure he stays in touch. Instead of limiting himself to rare programs, he is appearing in public almost every two days, ensuring that citizens feel his presence as an accessible leader.
On the other side, Jagan Mohan Reddy is taking the opposite route. Since the election loss, he has not shown much activity. There are no major programs from YSRCP, no constant public outreach, and very little aggressive political push. Apart from releasing long posts on ‘X’ from Tadepalli or spending time in Bengaluru, Jagan is hardly seen among the people. Even the few events his party attempted looked staged and failed to connect.
This lack of activity is raising serious concerns within YSRCP. Supporters and leaders feel Jagan must come out of his comfort zone and directly face the public, just as Chandrababu did when he was in opposition. Without that constant presence, YSRCP is losing ground, while the ruling govt is tightening its grip with strong messaging and instant reactions to every issue.
If this silence continues, the danger for Jagan is clear. Just press meets and social media posts will not keep him relevant in Andhra politics. The longer he stays away from people, the closer he gets to being forgotten.
