In politics, winning elections is all about setting the right perspective and public mood. If a Government looks invincible, the public will also tune their mind in that direction.
In India, people are like they are not going to waste their vote choosing the losing horse. Jagan Mohan Reddy knows this principle more than anyone else.
Jagan and co. have been manufacturing the biggest lie of YSR Congress winning 2024 with slogans like Why Not 175?, Why Not Kuppam? etc. But then, votes have shown the real mood with the Graduates’ MLC elections.
The perception created using misleading slogans changed almost immediately. Four of Jagan’s own MLAs drifted from the party and voted for TDP’s candidate, Panchumarthi Anuradha in the MLA-quota MLC elections.
And the public perception also started changing.
Blue media also started accepting defeat. We have seen the Internet agents of YSR Congress change colors. They started admitting ‘Paccha Gaali’ in Andhra Pradesh and are ready to throw the blame for the defeat on Jagan’s ministers and officials.
While this is the case on the web, the change has started in Electronic media as well. The channels supporting YSR Congress so far have celebrated TDP’s victory almost like TDP supporters. There is a slight change in the tone already bringing some sort of neutrality. The tone will change completely as the elections draw closer.
Probably, Jagan will be left only with Sakshi on his side due to obvious reasons.
