Chandrababu Naidu, a veteran political figure with forty years of experience in the industry, is once again making statements in the lead-up to the elections. He claims that the upcoming elections will be historic, echoing similar sentiments from past elections in 2004, 2009, 2014, and 2019. While every election is considered historic from the people's perspective in a democratic setup, Naidu's latest slogan emphasizes that it is not just the parties but the people who should emerge victorious.

This statement raises questions about the implied focus on the people rather than the party, and discussions are arising about whether the telugu desam party (TDP) itself should win or if it's the activists and leaders within the party who represent the people. The essence of democratic elections lies in the people electing a party that promises to improve their living standards, be it through infrastructure development, welfare schemes, or other means.


Economists argue that the concept of schemes and freebies contributing to the economy is valid, as the money distributed to the poor eventually circulates back into the treasury, fostering a market economy. In this context, the money transfer schemes initiated by the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu congress party (YSRCP) are acknowledged for positively impacting people's lives. 


On the other hand, the TDP's emphasis on development, while supported by its leaders, is subject to the test of time, and the results may not be immediately evident. Chandrababu also invokes Gurjada Apparao's idea that the state should win, emphasizing that the state is comprised of its people. Therefore, if the people get the government they desire, it translates to a victory for the state.


Ultimately, the crux of the matter is the people's judgment, and elections are a testament to their decision-making power. Criticizing those who don't vote for a particular party as losers is viewed as a lack of understanding on the part of political leaders. The people, in their collective wisdom, will always be the winners. Chandrababu's slogan of "CBN people Always Win" is perceived as a strategic move to rally support for the TDP.
