For decades together, an entire political network completely targeted Chandrababu Naidu. The network worked for YS Rajasekhar Reddy and Congress, and after his demise, the same support system completely shifted to Jagan Mohan Reddy.
But for years together, their modus operandi is the same, target Chandrababu Naidu.
However, things seem to have changed in this term. If that Media’s strategy is observed, the target is no longer Chandrababu Naidu, it is Lokesh.
In every single issue in the state, the Jagan’s aligned Media is repeatedly cooking stories that Chandrababu Naidu has become a dummy and helpless and it is Lokesh and his coterie that is calling shots.
They are trying to create the feeling that Chandrababu Naidu is a weak CM and Lokesh and his coterie are the reasons for everything wrong that happens under the sun.
They are using Chandrababu Naidu’s statement that 40 MLAs are not on the right track and only fifteen of them corrected after his review meetings.
They are drawing conclusions that 40 MLAs mean one third of the MLAs and this is mainly because they belong to Lokesh’s group and do not take orders from the Chief Minister.
With this strategy, they are serving both their purposes. They are projecting Chandrababu Naidu’s government is weak and also trying to project Lokesh in a bad light.
Before anyone else in the TDP setup, it is the YSR Congress camp that started getting ready for Lokesh’s leadership.
Probably, they believe Lokesh will take over before the 2029 elections and are preparing ground for it.
We have seen them spread a narrative recently that Chandrababu Naidu will go to Delhi and become the Deputy Chief Minister while Lokesh becomes the Chief Minister here.
The real question however is, are they doing this based on some credible information or with abundant caution?
