Officers from bureacracy and the police who align themselves with ruling party leaders often become scapegoats in political power feuds.
We’ve repeatedly seen how officials who follow the orders of the ruling government face legal troubles, arrests, and harassment once the government changes hands. This phenomenon isn’t new — it's been happening for the past few years.
Even now, officers who served during the YSRCP regime are facing pressure and action from the new Alliance Government.
In this context, former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy's latest warning is deeply unsettling the officers- who are working in Allaince Government now.
The fear of his return is so intense that even second-rung leaders are shaken, knowing how easily political revenge can be taken.
The current government's actions have already demonstrated how power can be used as a tool of retribution.
Jagan recently issued a bold statement- “I’m telling every worker — write down the names of those who wronged or troubled you. Name the book however you like, but make sure to write them down. When we return, we’ll show them the film. Even if they retire or leave the country, we won’t spare them.”
Power never lasts forever. When it fades, those who misused it often regret their actions — but by then, it’s too late.
With Jagan 2.0 promising a more aggressive leadership, fear has gripped many. Will he soften if he returns to power, or grow even more relentless?
Meanwhile, YSRCP workers are already preparing — writing down names without being asked. In the end, it’s always the public who suffer, watching power shift back and forth while their own lives remain unchanged.
