Growing Frustration Among Jagan Loyalists

Growing Frustration Among Jagan Loyalists

Even before Jagan Reddy ventured into active politics, there were a band of men around him who were his hardcore fans and extremely devoted to him.

While these people choose to travel with Jagan and trusted only in him, there is now a sense of frustration creeping in them that Jagan is putting commercial interests ahead of their relationship with him and is being calculative about them.

Jagan is allegedly making a SWOT analysis of a person and not hesitating to do away with that person if he finds him to be of no use to the YSRCP or Sakshi.

Many YSR loyalists left Jagan because of this style of functioning and the same scenario is being witnessed at ‘Sakshi’ as well.

When Jagan was jailed, his wife Bharati Reddy who had no experience whatsoever took over the reins of Sakshi. But all Jagan loyalists rallied around her and helped keep the enterprise afloat.

But to their dismay, one by one, those who had been associated with Sakshi and Jagan for a long time were removed.

Subba Reddy and Ramakrishna Reddy were sidelined and the entire responsibility entrusted to Vijay Sai Reddy who is not on god terms with YSRCP leaders like Mysoora Reddy himself.

Now, it is reportedly the time for Ram Reddy to be shown the door. He has been removed from ‘Sakshi channel’ responsibilities and made the in -charge of ‘family’ section of Sakshi.

Initially, after Bharati took over, Ram Reddy was removed from the organization but a compromise was arrived at and he was re-instated. There is a big question mark now over the continuance of Ram Reddy in the organization.

In short, the complaint is that loyalists, who have been with Jagan during troubled times are being sidelined, removed or ignored in the business interest of the party, channel and newspaper.

Meanwhile, there is an interesting rumor being spread by Jagan’s former loyalists.

Ramachandra Murthy handpicked by Bharati for the newspaper division was part of the Andhra Jyothi paper which was born again, thanks to Chandrababu Naidu.

The rumor is that Murthy is a covert of the yellow gang sent into Sakshi and that he is slowly distancing Jagan from his key men without any suspicion as part of the yellow gang’s conspiracy.
