What was lacking in Jagan Mohan Reddy in the last 5 years is the direct connection with the masses. After becoming the CM, there was an expected gap between Jagan and the vast community of the masses as there wasn't much scope for too many public meetings.
However, Jagan has started to fill the void that had developed as he has come in front of the public now and has started the real election game with just three months to go for the polls.
Jagan's Vijayawada meeting today is a testament of the kind of miss euphoria he can evoke if he steps out in public. It is estimated that nearly 1 lakh people assembled at Jagan's meeting. This is the kind of stuff that Chandra Babu, Lokesh, and Pawan Kalyan can only dream off.
Not just the crowd pull, Jagan has ended the political intentions of his opponents with his sharp and straightforward comment on the class war in Andhra Pradesh. There was this one particular statement where Jagan said "Untouchability is not just a physical trait these days. They(TDP and JSP) don't want our kids to study in English medium government schools because they don't want our kids to compete with theirs". This statement drew a wild reception and set the stage for Jagan's election campaign that is to follow.
