YS Jagan will rope in new political strategists

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the former chief minister of Andhra Pradesh and current opposition leader, has initiated fresh plans aimed at restoring his party to its former glory. After being in power for five years and enjoying absolute dominance in Andhra Pradesh politics, the YSRC party, headed by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, is facing many problems.

The party won a mere 11 MLAs out of a total of 175 in the 2024 elections. It was a humiliating defeat.

With the morale of the party men at an all-time low, YS Jagan is finding it hard to keep things afloat high in his own party.

He gained political prominence with his Pada Yatras. He is planning to do the same after a year or two. But he wants a new political strategy.

YS Jagan earlier hired political strategist Prashant Kishore to come to power. But both of them had a fallout. Then Jagan hired the services of other political strategists, which ultimately spoiled the game.

New strategist

Political pundits say Jagan is in consultation with various political agencies to hire a new and best one.

The YSRCP’s post-defeat fight isn’t just against the NDA but within itself. With Jagan’s leadership under scrutiny, senior figures departing, and cadres losing faith, the party faces an uphill battle to reclaim relevance in Andhra Pradesh’s shifting political landscape.
