Behind The Scene: Good For The YSRCP?

Behind The Scene: Good For The YSRCP?

Even the most die-hard fan of the TDP would probably have not expected the party to win the MLC election in Kadapa, which is the stronghold of the YS family.

Contrary to perception, the TDP inflicted a humiliating defeat on the YSRCP by making a clean sweep of the MLC polls.

While obviously, the TDP is seeking to gain mileage from the election results by saying it is a referendum on YS Jagan rather than their own administrative competence, the YSRCP says money-power of the ruling party made all the difference.

Arguments aside, the poll results might actually turn out to be in the best interests of the YSRCP from a 2019 perspective.

Prior to the elections in 2014, when by-elections were held in 19 constituencies, the YSRCP registered a thumping victory. This resulted in over-confidence which reflected ultimately in the 2014 election verdict.

This time, the YSRCP humbled by the MLC results would not be guilty of such an attitude again. In that sense, the recent polls might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise for YS Jagan and his men.
