What is the secret of YS Jagan’s unprecedented success in the just-concluded panchayat and municipal elections? How did it make a mince-meat of the TDP? What is behind the YSRCP’s historic victory? Those in the know say that a formula studiously adopted and implemented by YS Jagan is behind this success story.
The formula is CM to CP. Yes. CM to CP is Chief Minister to Common People. Ever since he came to power, Jagan always believed in the effective distribution of the welfare measures. He has taken quite a few steps to ensure effective delivery system. He has put in place the system of village volunteers in a big way. Sources say that this was suggested by poll wizard Prashant Kishore.
If sources are to be believed, Jagan is now trying to further strengthen the system. Besides the village level volunteers, who are working at the grassroots level as an interface between the Chief Minister and the people, a now mandal supervisor system too would be appointed. The mandal supervisors would keep tab on the village volunteers to ensure effective disbursal of the benefits. These supervisors would be paid Rs 25000 towards salary.
The decision is based on the information input that some MLAs, though with the party, are working against the party diktats at the local level. To ensure that the MLAs cannot subvert the system, the government is going to appoint mandal supervisors. Jagan has reportedly taken this decision in view of the feedback that volunteers’ system is primarily responsible for YSRCP’s success.
