Has One Victory Washed Away the Political Opposition Against Ex MLA Sanjeevaiah?

👉🏻 Did the Naidupet Win Give Ex MLA Kiliveti a Political Lifeline?
👉🏻 Will He Introspect on the Sullurpeta Defeat?
AI Media 24, Amaravati Political Bureau: In politics, no one can predict what will happen next, or when favourable and unfavourable situations will arise. What seems favourable today can turn unfavourable tomorrow. Such developments often go beyond any analysis. This is the strange political journey and the series of developments witnessed in the political career of the former YSR Congress Party MLA from Sullurpeta constituency in the erstwhile Nellore district. Here is a special report by AI Media 24. There were allegations that after winning as MLA for the second time, Ex MLA Kiliveti Sanjeevaiah ignored Congress-turned-YSRCP leaders and workers while the party was in power. There were criticisms that he ignored the excesses of the sand, gravel and soil mafia, did injustice to genuine workers, and acted as per the words of a few leaders. There were also allegations that false cases were foisted on party workers and leaders. As a result, Sanjeevaiah lost the 2024 elections. On the other hand, there were also allegations that YSRCP coterie leaders linked their personal rivalries to politics and indulged in vendetta politics through Sanjeevaiah. Filing false cases, harassing people through police and revenue officials without verifying facts, became a curse for Sanjeevaiah. In particular, getting false cases filed against mandal-level YSRCP leaders, targeting sympathisers of the party, and filing false cases against people of other communities after listening to the words of people belonging to his own community, had a serious impact on Sanjeevaiah’s victory and defeat. Before the elections, there were allegations that Sanjeevaiah misused power in Sullurpeta and behaved without any restraint. The then opposition Telugu Desam Party launched a severe attack on Sanjeevaiah over corruption and irregularities. On the other hand, in the YSRCP, serious differences arose between leaders and workers in a divide-and-rule manner. During the election campaign, these differences reached a peak and even led to mutual attacks. It is said that the main reason for the differences was that after winning for the first time and after the party came to power for the second time, Sanjeevaiah ignored senior leaders and workers and gave more importance to people around him who carried tales, leaders without a vote bank, and collection politics. Many say that this led to Sanjeevaiah’s defeat. In this process, with the YSRCP leadership unable to do anything, the party situation turned into everyone for himself. In this background, with local elections approaching, the YSRCP situation became like a well in front and a ditch behind. However, the allotment of the Naidupet Municipality to OC women, and the emergence of Tambireddy Rajeswaramma as the YSRCP chairperson candidate, turned out to be lucky for Sanjeevaiah. It is noteworthy that leaving aside Sullurpeta, the constituency headquarters, only Naidupet Municipality was taken up as prestigious. The presence of strong Reddy community leaders, a people-connect approach, and the controversy-free family of the candidate became a major advantage for the YSRCP here. Sanjeevaiah turned this to his advantage and moved his political pawns with the sole aim of winning the chairperson candidate, and victory came his way. Attempts to suppress the YSRCP, attempts to file false cases against leaders working for the chairperson’s victory, the excessive attitude of the police, and the failure in attempts to file false cases against persons like Kamireddy Raja Reddy, suddenly washed away the political opposition against Sanjeevaiah in the air of the municipal election victory. As a result, Sanjeevaiah’s name echoed in the YSRCP. The worry about his political future in the coming elections disappeared. But whether all the past stains have been washed away with just one municipality victory has now become the topic of discussion in Sullurpeta. Whether Sanjeevaiah will correct the mistakes and lapses of the past in the coming elections and work for the development of the party and the victory of party candidates, or whether he will further encourage coterie leaders and shape his political future the same way he lost for the second time, is the big debate going on at present.
