Is the Government Doing Its Job?
Many say YSRCP Chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is acting unsure about his security.
But that is not the real issue. The important question is this:
Is the Andhra Pradesh government providing proper security to a leader who still draws lakhs of people?
Jagan’s mass outreach is clear. His safety deserves attention, not politics.
He’s More Than a Former CM
Some argue that Jagan is only a former Chief Minister now, not the Leader of the Opposition.
But this misses the point.
Jagan continues to lead the main opposition party. His influence is visible through the huge crowds at his events.
So, when he raises security concerns or asks for a rope cordon, it’s not for show. It’s a valid request based on real risks.
History Already Set the Standard
Let’s not forget — when Jagan was in power, Chandra Babu Naidu was given rope security during public tours.
There was no debate back then. It was seen as necessary.
So, why is it a problem now?
The need for safety hasn’t changed. Only the political equation has.
Security Needs More Than Rulebooks
The current government refers to Z+ category rules to deny Jagan’s request.
It’s true — rope cordons aren’t part of those rules.
But security is not just about following a manual. It’s about understanding the situation.
When thousands gather in public spaces, the approach must change.
Leadership brings responsibility. Safety planning must rise to that level.
Not a Privilege, Just Basic Safety
Jagan is not demanding anything new. He is asking for the same safety that was once provided without question.
Ignoring that request now raises doubts.
Is this really about rules? Or is it about targeting a political rival?
Stop Mixing Politics With Protection
Turning security into a political tool is dangerous.
It shows misuse of power. It also weakens public faith in governance.
Even in opposition, leaders must be protected. That’s how democracy works.
Who’s Actually Confused?
Critics say Jagan is overreacting. But it doesn’t look that way.
He’s clear about what he wants — safe access to the public.
It’s the government that seems unsure — swinging between rules, politics, and denial.
Final Thoughts
Security is not a luxury. It’s a right.
Every leader who walks into a crowd deserves protection — no matter their current title.
And those in power today should remember:
Opposition today, Government tomorrow.
