This is the first thing I expected when I heard the shocking news of Dr. YS Rajashekara Reddy’s demise in the recent chopper crash. I pray to god that his soul rest in peace. If YSR was alive and for instance, if he had to get down from the CM post at this point of time, I would be pretty sure that YSR wouldn’t recommend Jagan as his successor. No personal grudge on Jagan but the fact is that, he is still a kid in the political arena and he hardly has an experience of 4 months. When there are experienced leaders in the party who have been associated with the party for long time, how can a infant be elected as the Chief Minister. I am a firm supporter of youth in Indian Politics but not in the most important post of the state in the first few months of political entry.
The dead body of YSR did not even reach his residence in Hyderabad, and the congress MLA’s have already begun the ball game in the background of getting signatures of the MLAs supporting Jagan as the next CM. What else can this mean other than exhibiting the urge to gain personal advantage in the future. It was like a rat race as to who is going to say it first. And once the first statement came out in support of Jagan, the remaining MLA’s were worried that they might miss out of the limelight. Political lobbying is reaching an abysmal state in Indian and especially Andhra Politics.
Recent breaking news from Headlines Today or the news paper Mail Today revealed this disgraceful news that the Congress Ministers and the representatives in Andhra paid money to the families who lost their loved ones to declare their death was a suicide due to the shock of listening to the news of YSR’s demise. Can it get worse than this? 430 deaths were associated with this, with close to 150 of them were declared as suicide and cardiac arrest for YSR’s death and the rest were declared as suicides to elect YS Jagan as the next CM. I pity the state of those ministers and party representatives who can go to such cheap levels only to ensure they gain an edge in the party.
With this being the political state of Andhra Pradesh, respected Dr. Rajashekar (a movie star in telugu and tamil) and Mrs. Jeevitha Rajashekar have come in front of the press the immediate day to give their support to YS Jagan as the next CM. When the press asked them, if they would vote for Chiranjeevi, he said, “NO, WHY WOULD I VOTE FOR HIM? WHAT EXPERIENCE DOES HE HAVE IN POLITICS?”. Now the same person is asking Jagan to be the next CM of AP who has even less experience than Chiranjeevi. Look at the chameleon behaviour of these people just to gain advantage.
I wish the Congress High Commission doesnt take any hasty decisions and lets hope the entire cry about the CM post ends with a sensible decision.
