Usually, when a natural calamity strikes, it’s the opposition leader who rushes to the affected regions—meeting victims, expressing solidarity, and holding the ruling government accountable. It’s seen as both a moral responsibility and a political opportunity to stand by the people in their hour of need.
However, in Andhra Pradesh, the script seems to have flipped entirely after the recent Montha cyclone.
This time, it was the ruling leadership—Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan—who took the lead. Both leaders personally toured the cyclone-hit areas, interacted with the victims, supervised relief operations, and assured prompt and fair compensation.
In stark contrast, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, the Leader of the Opposition, remained missing in action. Reports suggest that Jagan stayed back at his residence in Bengaluru during the cyclone’s peak destruction, showing little urgency to visit the affected communities or offer moral support.
Nearly a week later, Jagan finally arrived in Krishna district to assess the situation and meet residents. But by then, the Chief Minister and his team had already completed extensive restoration work and even sought central assistance for relief efforts.
Political observers note that Jagan’s delayed response has greatly diminished the impact of his visit. Many argue that, while he demands recognition as the Leader of the Opposition, he has failed to fulfill the basic duties that come with the role—being present with the people during crises and standing up for their cause when it matters most.
