Two years after its 2024 election defeat, the YSR Congress Party is trying to regain political ground in Andhra Pradesh. Party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy has resumed frequent public visits after a year-long pause. Analysts say the party’s cadre remains unsettled and has not fully used issues against the NDA government. The YSRCP opposed private participation in medical colleges and raised complaints about teacher recruitment. It is also focusing on farmers, including chilli growers and minimum support prices. The government has defended its policies and rejected the recruitment allegations. Mr. Reddy’s visits have sometimes led to clashes with police and political criticism. The party’s challenge is to turn public attention into sustained support through a clear policy alternative.
