In a rare public appearance with a traditional forehead mark Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy attended the Political Advisory Committee (PAC) meeting held today at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli.
This surprised many party members and observers, as Jagan is seldom seen sporting a bottu, except during visits to temples like Tirumala or while participating in religious rituals.
The PAC meeting was held to discuss the party's strategy, review ongoing organizational activities, and realign goals following recent political developments.
Senior leaders and PAC members were present at the session. However, it was Jagan’s traditional appearance, more than the agenda itself, that drew attention on social media and within political circles.
It was a notable change from his usual public persona. His rare decision to wear a religious mark during a formal party meeting is being interpreted by different people in different ways.
