Pre-monsoon rains in Andhra Pradesh has brought a cheer among people and also among the YCP leaders. The sudden rains in AP – even before the south-west monsoon (Ruthupavanalu) entered Kerala – is now being claimed as Jagan’s achievement by YCP followers. While south-west (Niruthi) monsoon is expected to start in the second-week of June, the pre-monsoon rains are now credited to YS Jagan.
“Jagan anna came, Rains came,” commented a YCP supporter online. Many other followers of YCP are claiming that rains are indication that Rain God is with Jagan anna. A few YCP followers went a step ahead and claimed that YS Rajasekhar Reddy is “blessing” his son Jagan with rain from heaven. They say Rajasekhar Reddy is quite happy to see his son as the CM of AP.
This kinda politics with rain isn’t new in AP. Since the time of YSR, there has been a popular perception (propagated by pro-YSR and anti-Naidu camp) that ‘Rain God’ is close to YS family and he is anti to Chandrababu Naidu. Nonetheless, Rajasekhar Reddy himself had made the statement taking dig at Chandrababu Naidu’s rule.
Meanwhile, many rationalists are laughing at these propaganda of politicians and their supporters. Politics with weather and nature is really beyond and next level. What say folks?
