To divert the neutral voters towards YSR Congress party, Jagan has initiated a program called ‘Anna Pilupu.’ As part of it, he is holding discussions with them, also assuring that his government will fulfil all the promises that it would make during the elections.
This strategy is proposed by political expert Prashant Kishor who was hired by YSRCP couple of years back. About 70,000 neutral voters from all the districts in Andhra Pradesh were identified by Prashant Kishor and team.
To each one of them, Jagan personally wrote letters and invited them to come up with their list of demands and development ideas of their constituencies. Accordingly Jagan met neutral voters from Tirupathi, Kadapa and Anantapur. However in the Anantapur neutral voters meeting YSRCP cadre deployed their own party workers instead of neutral voters.
Out of the 300 members, 170 were YSRCP workers and in the meeting, they constantly appealed to Jagan to change the candidate of Singanamala constituency. Jagan got to know that in this meeting, a majority of them are his party workers and is upset with his cadre for their poor planning. He reportedly told them that this is not the way he wanted to conduct ‘Anna Pilupu.’
Seems like YSRCP cadre is not convinced with the idea which can play a very key role in the elections.
