Paranoid personality disorder (PPD) is a mental health condition marked by a pattern of distrust and suspicion of others without adequate reason to be suspicious. People with PPD are always on guard, believing that others are constantly trying to demean, harm, or threaten them.
Is Jagan Mohan Reddy suffering from this problem?
We do not know for sure but the symptoms suggest there is a chance.
The atrocities of Jagan Mohan Reddy between 2019 and 2024 are coming to light one after the other.
Jagan looks like made his Tadepalli Palace a fortress in the fear of someone harming him.
Jagan reportedly had 986 Security Personnel around his Tadepalli house. This number is even more than the security personnel of all South Indian Chief Ministers put together.
This number will double or triple if Jagan goes out of Tadepalli.
If we consider each security is paid 50,000 per month on average, Jagan spent 296 Crore Rupees just on his security in five years for the 986 people.
Along with this, the security is equipped with Modern Security Gadgets, a thirty-foot iron fence along the walls of his palace, and Bullet-proof cruiser vehicles were also deployed to Jagan’s Safety.
Also, there are drones flying around the Palace keeping an eye on the houses nearby 24X7.
There are dedicated roads only to be used by Jagan. Common people are not allowed on those roads until recently.
No one can enter or leave the Tadepalli Palace without an ID card around his/her neck.
Be it in Opposition or in power, Chandrababu Naidu has Z plus category security due to the attack of Naxals on him in 2003.
YS Jagan Mohan Reddy when in power wanted Black Cats similar to Chandrababu and created an SPG-like security wing in the state government.
The highly advanced unit called the Special Security Group (SSG), like the SPG, will provide round-the-clock protection to the Andhra Pradesh CM and their immediate family members — spouse, parents, and children.
This SSG is not only deployed in Tadepalli but also in Pulivendula, Idupulapaya, Lotus Pond residence, and also to Jagan’s daughters staying abroad.
There are tens of Checkposts not only around Tadepalli Palace but also in Sitanagaram, Undavalli Caves, Varadhi, Prakasam Barrage etc. Each Checkpost will have 10-15 Police and Traffic Police up to thirty.
Anti-Naxal Squad and Bomb Squad will also be guarding the checkposts. An SP rank officer and two BSP rank officers of APSP Battalions will also in duty 24/7.
In short, Jagan made Tadepalli a war zone of sorts. You must have a feudal mindset or a problem like Paranoid Personality Disorder to do something like this.
