In a new development in AP politics, former chief minister and YSRCP chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy has reportedly invited former party MP and key leader Vijayasai Reddy to return the party, in an effort to effectively counter the ruling coalition politically.
It may be recalled that Vijayasai Reddy was considered as `No 2’ in the party for a long time and also figured as A2 in all CBI and ED cases that Jagan was facing as A1.
Though Vijayasai Reddy left the party he has been accusing the `cotari’ around the former chief minister created a gulf against him and also asserting he will always seek good for his former leader.
Moreover, Jaganmohan Reddy also reportedly realized that present leaders and legal experts around his are unable to rescue the party leadership from numerous cases of corruption and economic offenses that the compilation government is imposing against them.
As a result, Jagan said to be strongly seeking Vijaysai Reddy’s assistance to face the present crisis. On the otherhand, Vijayasai Reddy also avoided criticism of YSRCP for the last few weeks and kept silent. Jagan’s eagerness to get Vijayasai Reddy came to know at a time, SIT notices have been issued to Vijayasai Reddy again. With this, it seems that politics is likely to take a crucial turn.
Vijayasai Reddy, who was close to the YS family from the beginning, has become a key figure in the formation of the party. He went to jail along with Jagan. Along with the YCP coming to power in 2019, he acted as a mediator between Delhi and AP. He contested as Nellore MP in the 2024 elections and lost.
But, he was upset by the developments that took place in succession after the defeat of the YCP. Along with leaving the YCP, he announced his exit from politics. Meanwhile, there was a large-scale campaign that he would join the BJP at one stage. Recently Jagan also made key comments on Vijaysai Reddy leaving the party and resigning from the Rajya Sabha, accusing him of colluding with Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu.
Meanwhile, Vijayasai Reddy has clarified many times that he will not do anything that will harm Jagan. The comments made by him while attending the SIT hearings have caused a large-scale discussion in the YSRCP. However, after that, he has been expressing his views on various issues through tweets. At the same time, YSRCP leaders are not making any comments against him in recent times.
