Is Jagan A Good Businessman? Is He A Politician?

Who is YS Jagan Mohan Reddy? Is he a better Businessman or a leader? The majority of them say that he is a good politician. However, those who observed Jagan closely say that there is a good businessman in Jagan. Interestingly, there are different opinions on a famous personality. There are only a few people who know more about Jagan. Many people don't know much about Jagan. Those who are close to Jagan won't like to say a single word against him. Even his fans don’t have an answer to this.

If we compare Chandrababu and Jagan there is a big difference. The close aides of Chandrababu Naidu might speak against him in their private meetings. Chandrababu’s nature of not taking such issues seriously might be a reason for this. There are contrasting views on Jagan in this aspect. It is said that they fear the consequences of even saying a single word against Jagan indirectly.

For this reason, people won't dare talk about the mistakes in Jagan. They also won't dare to advise Jagan. Earlier this was dubbed as a plus point to Jagan. However, a few people say that this is also a major reason for Jagan’s big defeat in the elections. This also raises the debate on whether Jagan is a good businessman or a politician. We have to look at a few aspects here.

What a good businessman does is expand the business and safeguard the employees. Jagan expanded his business and it is not a bad thing as a businessman. Looking at Jagan as a leader there is a criticism that the welfare he talks about always was not implemented for the employees working in his companies. There is no need to mention how successful he was as a businessman. Those who helped Jagan to grow as a businessman faced a lot of troubles later. While this is his track record as a businessman there are other aspects of Jagan as a leader.

Jagan’s journey as a politician is an open book. He took forward his father’s political legacy and turned the situation in his favour. Jagan possesses a few shocking aspects. For example, he continued the enmity of his father against Eenadu Group Chairman Ramoji Rao. However, Jagan lent a friendly hand to Ramoji and met him at Ramoji Film City when he was dealing with tough times. Cut to a few years Jagan showed the fear of arrest to Ramoji and made his family members spend some time abroad.

Jagan can be quite harsh and become gentle later. He can also behave quite differently. These are the different angles we can see in Jagan. There is another interesting aspect here. Jagan is the Heir of YSR. Despite this, Rajasekhara Reddy’s close aides KVP or Sureedu or Undavalli are not with Jagan which needs an answer.

At the same time, few others are very loyal to Jagan. Jagan became a leader from a politician. Everyone saw how he changed the face of Andhra Pradesh in the last five years. He would go down as a leader who took politics to the level of personal enmity. His decisions in the last five years' impact would be for at least 25 years. He brought many schemes in the name of welfare and behaved harshly with the opponents in the name of politics. The question is why Jagan, who should be close to people as a leader, had to stay on the other side of Parada.

In the process of becoming a leader, Jagan did Padayatra covering thousands of kilometers, and met the people to know their problems. After becoming the Chief Minister, he did not even let people meet him. There is no need to reduce his success in politics. In less time he created a lot of records. His father YSR took a few decades to become a Chief Minister. But Jagan achieved this in a short span. However, he could not hold the power with him. Only time can answer if the defeat would change his style or whether he would change him largely.
