A few days ago, Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu is in Narasapuram, West Godavari district for a Public meeting.

During his speech, he reprimanded the local Janasena MLA saying that his work is not up to the mark.

This did not go well with Janasena Supporters who were questioning who is Chandrababu Naidu to reprimand a Janasena MLA and if Pawan Kalyan can question the TDP MLAs.

Firstly, Chandrababu Naidu is the Chief Minister. He can question any MLA in the alliance because he is the head of the Government.

Pawan Kalyan can not do that because Deputy Chief Minister post is a political arrangement but not a constitutional post. But he is allowed to do that out of respect. We have seen him doing that Home Minister Anitha.

On the other hand, YCP Media had given a spinoff to this incident saying that Chandrababu is downsizing Janasena to negotiate number of seats in the upcoming local elections.

But then, it is always the case with Chandrababu Naidu. He reprimands TDP MLAs as well similarly. There are numerous such incidents.

On May 9th this year, he made similar comments about TDP Kavali MLA, Megha Krishna Reddy. Right from the start of his tenure as the Chief Minister, Chandrababu has this habit of reprimanding the bureaucrats, Government officials, and MLAs in Public.

It is true that such review meetings are better if they haven behind closed walls be it any party MLA.

But it is not true that Chandrababu does that only with Janasena MLAs and is doing it with a plan to downsize that party.
