With just three days until Andhra Pradesh’s polls, the political scene is heating up. The TDP-Janasena-BJP alliance, led by Chandrababu Naidu, Pawan Kalyan, and Nara Lokesh, is highlighting Jagan’s failures and lack of progress. They point out issues like poor roads and job calendars while also criticizing Jagan’s Land Titling Act, especially his photo on land passbooks.

Jagan’s campaign seems slower, marked by breaks and large events like ‘Siddham.’ His comments about losing confidence and wanting a vacation post-elections have raised doubts about his leadership. His interviews and gestures, mocked online, haven’t helped his image either.

Despite Jagan’s followers touting YouTube views, voters are focused on his actual achievements, which many believe are lacking. His focus on vendetta politics and controversies like Praja Vedika’s demolition have further eroded his credibility.

Overall, the alliance leaders’ direct confrontations with Jagan seem to be gaining traction compared to his struggling campaign.
