One of the big reasons for Chandrababu Naidu sacrificing power to YS Rajashekar Reddy in 2004 was his merciless dealing with the government employees.
Right from the government teachers, all the government employees were strictly ordered to be on time to their duties. While most of the people, who take government jobs for granted, found Naidu's rule tough to implement, which therefore resulted in Naidu losing his CM chair.
However, he again came back to power in 2014, as there is no strong opposition and adding to it, Pawan Kalyan's support too helped TDP to form the government. But the situation is different now. While Pawan Kalyan is reluctant to go with TDP another time and contest through his Janasena in 2019, even the AP government employees are strictly against CM.
None of the AP government employees are happy to get shifted to Velagapudi, to perform their duties. But Naidu was strict about his decision due to which all the employees had to leave their longtime association with Hyderabad and move to Velagapudi.
The analysts opine this would show a negative impact to Naidu in the 2019 elections, the analysts opine. If it is so, YSRCP is the next big opposition in AP and it should start its groundwork from now, before Pawan Kalyan's Janasena makes it big.
