In life, elders say, we need people around us, especially during tough times. This is true not only for personal life but also in politics. TDP leader Chandrababu Naidu, despite his differences with others, had support in his difficult times. Even those who didn't like him showed some sympathy.
Chandrababu's secret? He didn't act with malice or vengeance. He respected all parties, big or small. However, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the current CM of Andhra Pradesh, seems to be in trouble with no one to support him.
Jagan is facing a series of challenges - a severe electoral defeat, criticism from his party members, and government demolitions of party offices. This has left him in a whirlpool of problems.
Once boasting 151 MLAs, Jagan now finds himself isolated. Who is there to share his burden? Who supports him? No one. Not a single person has come forward to stand by him. Traditionally, communist comrades would have protested such demolitions, but they are silent today.
Intellectuals, who usually speak up for leaders in trouble, are also quiet. No one is asking why this is happening or comforting Jagan in his tough times. The reason is Jagan's own actions. He distanced himself from everyone while in power, acting like an all-powerful emperor.
This loneliness is a result of his own behavior. Not a single person is coming forward to support Jagan now. People have already abandoned him. These situations serve as lessons for today's leaders and especially for the YSRCP.
