Is AP CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy turning a puppet of Telangana CM KCR? According to detractors of Jagan, the answer is 'yes'. They are citing innumerable reasons how YS Jagan have been obeying KCR's orders ever since assuming power in 2019. Checkout the following.
* Basically, KCR has a stony heart towards employees and YS Jagan has a kind heart. KCR's stony heart attitude was proved with the recent strike of RTC employees. Besides, KCR created all time Teugu CMs record delaying Pay Revision Committee's (PRC) report and its recommendations to the government employees. Had KCR not ordered Jagan, the latter could have implemented PRC to AP employees two months before. But then, nothing of that sort was happened.
* Cutting down employees salaries for 50% is the worst idea initiated by KCR. Actually, Jagan promised employees unions that he would not let their salaries deducted in spite of the coronavirus crisis. Since KCR forced him for salary deductions to AP employees too, the latter had to obey the TS CM's orders again.
* However, KCR gave exemptions to the departments of health, police and sanitation. According to the G.O. released on April 2 their salaries will not be deducted. And the same G.O. was released by AP government on April 4.
BOTTOM-LINE: "Having obeyed KCR's orders bluntly, YS Jagan is losing his own mark and identity. He can prove his mettle only with his unique decisions ignoring the advice and orders being issued by KCR at times," critics opined.
