YS Jagan, the chief of YCP, introduced the volunteers system, which has faced criticism after Pawan Kalyan’s allegations of potential misuse of public data and involvement in human trafficking. Nevertheless, recent reports suggest that Jagan is planning to increase the salaries of village and ward volunteers in Andhra Pradesh, doubling their pay from Rs 5000 to Rs 10,000.
The decision is expected to be officially communicated on Jagan’s birthday, December 21st. However, netizens are skeptical about the timing of this salary hike, as it coincides with the upcoming elections. They speculate that it might be a strategic move by Jagan to motivate the volunteers to work for the YCP during the elections.
Despite the initial vision of the volunteer system as an independent body, there are concerns that Jagan may use them for electoral gains due to their access to public data and knowledge of voting trends in their respective areas, potentially influencing voting patterns.
The scenario has aroused public conversations and debates, prompting inquiries regarding the motivations behind the pay hike and its potential impact on the dynamics of the next election. People are keeping a careful eye on the happenings to see how this decision may affect Andhra Pradesh’s political scene.
