Social Media Talk On YS Jagan’s Over-Confidence!

Of course, one will completely agree with opposition leader YS Jagan’s confidence that he will be winning 140+ seats. But what one wonders how come he is celebrating it even before the counting of votes polled inside EVMs has started. Rather waiting for May 23rd, already Jagan is giving bouquets to the governor, getting the nameplates ready and doing many more, if news reports are anything to go by.

As the same discussion is going on in social media, many folks are actually commenting that YS Jagan is behaving like Bangladesh cricket team. Back in 2018, during the Nidadas Trophy final match, Team Bangla celebrated much in advance as 5 runs are needed off the last ball for India to win. But Dinesh Karthik has hit six off the last ball, crushing their hopes of winning Asia Cup.

Similarly, in the T20 World Cup 2016 league match where Bangladesh fans celebrated in ecstasy after requiring just 1 run from 2 balls to win, Dhoni’s pressure tactic (though Virat Kohli is captain) worked out well and the last ball runout ensured that Bangla loses the match. That made Bangladesh a team that celebrates their victory much before they actually win and eventually lose the match.

Social media folks feel that even Jagan is celebrating in a similar manner, because in reality, many seats won by YSRC folks are just by over 2% margin (read 2500-3500 votes) on TDP, and Pawan’s entry might surely hurt that difference now. So until results are announced, it’s better to not celebrate like Bangladesh team, say netizens.
