In a revealing development, former YSR Congress Party (YCP) leader Vasireddy Padma has made allegations about the systematic nature of political discourse within the party, particularly targeting the opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu and his family. Padma, who was once a prominent member of the YCP, shared her insights about the dynamics within the party during her tenure.
According to Padma, verbal attacks on Naidu and his son, Nara Lokesh, were not spontaneous expressions but carefully orchestrated strategies. She alleged that party leaders were given pre-written scripts laden with personal attacks and derogatory remarks before addressing the media. The former leader further claimed that these scripts were prepared under the direct supervision of Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, a close aide of Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, with inputs from the party chief himself.
“Sajjala used to sit with Jagan and finalize the script. These scripts often contained specific instructions on how to criticize and insult Chandrababu Naidu and his family. We were all encouraged to follow these scripts verbatim during media interactions,” Padma alleged.
She implied that this approach became a norm within the YCP, with leaders understanding that such aggressive rhetoric was a way to remain in Jagan’s favor. The pattern of public abuse, she suggested, was not just a political tactic but an expected practice for those aspiring to maintain good relations with the party leadership.
This alleged strategy seems to explain the frequent personal attacks by several prominent YCP leaders, including Kodali Nani, Vallabhaneni Vamsi, Ambati Rambabu, and Roja. Their repeated targeting of Naidu and his family could be seen as efforts to align with the party’s internal expectations.
If Padma’s claims hold weight, they cast a shadow on the political culture fostered within the YCP. The heavy reliance on personal attacks and verbal abuse as a political strategy raises concerns about the ethical standards of public discourse.
Such revelations highlight the need for introspection within the party to ensure that political engagement remains rooted in constructive dialogue and policy-driven discussions rather than personal animosities. If Jagan Mohan Reddy’s leadership prioritizes respectful and issue-based politics over scripted vitriol, it could set a transformative precedent for Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape.
