Jagan Reddy Quits Congress, Likely to Float Own Party


Hyderabad/New Delhi(TOI): Rebel Congress MP from Kadapa, YS Jaganmohan Reddy, on Monday resigned from the party after the latter expressed anger over the episodes telecast on Sakshi television channel targeting the party leadership.

According to a top aide, the rebel MP is likely to float his own party. Youth Sramik Ryot (YSR) is likely to be the name of the new political outfit.

Jaganmohan submitted an open resignation letter to the Speaker of the Andhra Pradesh assembly on Monday, Times Now said.

Jagan in a 5-page open letter alleged that Congress humiliated him and his family. "I always accepted high command dictats. Odarpu was my personal issue. I am pained at Congress high command's attitude. What mistake did I commit? Hence, decided to quit from Lok Sabha," Jagan said.

Jagan's mother Vijayalakshmi has also resigned as member of the state assembly. She was elected unopposed from Pulivendula constituency in Kadapa district in December last year, following the death of her husband in a helicopter crash.

The channel, owned by Jagan, raised the hackles of the party leadership by targeting Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi.

For the 38-year-old son of former chief minister YSR Reddy, who has been aspiring to become the CM, the increasing isolation from the party reportedly pushed him into breaking away from Congress and is now likely to form a new party of his own.

Jagan's uncle and member of Legislative Council, Y S Vivekananda Reddy, YSR's brother, has rubbed salt to Jaganmohan Reddy's injury by offering to "patch up" the strained relationship between his nephew and the Congress high command by "expressing our regret over the episodes telecast on Sakshi television channel."

Vivekananda's move has only left a defiant Jagan more embarrassed even as his camp tried to do some damage control by announcing that their leader had done nothing wrong that warranted any explanation to the high command.

By distancing itself from Vivekananda's statement, his camp desperately sought to send a message that Jagan would not buckle under pressure.

    Mr. Veerappa Moilly has grown in Congress Party from the scratch. But some positions are not meant for individual if one doesn’t have the quality to sort out the issue. With due respect to Mr. Veerappa Moilly, Congress in charge of AP is not meant for him because he has miserably failed to sort out the issue as trouble shooter in AP Congress feud.
    Might be, better person would have been Kapil Saibal, HRD Minister who has the wit and foresight. This is exclusively my opinion.
    Wish all the parties best of luck. Is all political parties are there to serve society or they expect society to serve them?

    Mr.Jagan you are real hero. In Congress except Italian's son, no young person can stand long. If so, he will be surely thrown out or sidelined. Of course everyone knows the achievement of Italian's son in Bihar exam 4/243. Jagmohan is rising & Italian is clearly feared of this so purely acted in her baby's interest. Surely Jagan can give a fitting reply in next elections.

YOU WILL BE ROUTED. THIS IS POLITICS. WHEN ELCTIONS COME LIKE THE LAST ONE, ALL PREDICTED LANDSLIDE VICTORY TO BJP UNDER THE LEADERSHIP OF ADVANI AND THE POWER HOUSE OF NARENDRA MODI. NOTHING HAPPENED. JUST WINNING GUJARAT AND KARNATAKA NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE AN IMPRESSION ON INDIA. INDIA IS UNIQUE AND RELIGION BASED AND CASTE BASED POLITICKING IS OVER. DEVELOPMENT IS THE MANTRA. FOR DEVELOPMENT LAND SCAMS AND 3G SECTRUM SCAMS DO NOT HLEP. WE ALL NEED NITISH KUMAR MINUS BJP IS NEEDED.

CAN YOU NOT CHANGE THAT WITH A POWERFUL INDIAN LED BJP? WHY THE HELL BJP WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THE LAST TWO ATTEMPTS TO TOPPLE THE ITALIAN LED CONGRESS? BECAUSE IN THE BJP THERE IS NO BACKBONE, NO BRAIN AND NO LEADERS EXCEPT A FEW WHO SHOW THAT THEY CAN BUT CAN'T, BECAUSE THEY ARE LIKE YOU BUILDING CASTLES IN DREAMS OR IN THE AIR. I WISH REALLY TO SEE AN INDIAN LED GOVERNMENT, BUT THIS YOUR LAMENTATIONS SHOW THAT YOU ARE JUST BUSYING YOURSELF IN SELF PITY, WHICH IS AS GOOD AS ACCEPTING YOUR DEFEAT, AND HANGING ON YOUR PAST GLORY OF BJP WHICH WAS UNCERTAIN TO THE CORE WITH ALL KINDS OF SCAMS. AS YOU SAY IN CONGRESS THERE ARE PUPPETS AND BABIES, IN BJP THERE IS NONE. BY SAYING TOO MANY TIMES "ITALIAN SLAVAERY" YOU HAVE BECOME LITERALLY A SLAVE OF THE "ITALIAN LADY" doddanna - damaskatte

Remember that Mrs. Sonia is now Indian citizen and she is totally adopted Indian culture, where you’re great BJP, RSS and all Evil groups accepted. So mind your language when you talk about the leaders. Your Yeddi is one of the worst creatures in this world like mad dog.......He talks like so illiterate way and giving false statements to public.

    Jagan is really a bad minded man in politics, he needs only power. He was in one corner during his father was alive. He want to catch the opportunity of power by his fathers death. I feel he is really a bad natured politician. Whatever good name was gained by his father was ruined by his son.

In spite of his repeated anti high command gimmicks he was tolerated.Although Jagan wanted the party to throw him out and on seeing the inaction by the high command he resigned on his own. The difference is Jagan walked out and Yeddy stayed in.Both high commands take action only when it suits them.

Please dont cast your vote for Jagan or Rahul only if his dad's or mom's employer offers you a job in their place without verifying your competence. Neither Jagan nor Rahul has not proved their skills to take up top positions. Congress is sinking party Bihar out now Andhra

    Herold Dcunha MLR . That means Rahul will the Next PM. Because now he got experience and mass support of Cong Highcommand !!!!!!
    Last time Cong did not allow him to become PM just because there were so many old heads were there in the run. Sonia amma can not take a chance against them, so she made Singh as PM and order him to act as per her instruction. I dont think next time singh will continue to be PM as he dont want to be ROBOT. So he will definately give his chair to Rahul ... If congress won the election ??????????

    If a person is not disciplined by himself and has rebellious nature, how come one will be disciplined party worker and in his own party how can he expect his party worker to be disciplined.
    In 2009 election Rahul Gandhi could have become PM but the Gandhi family said big NO. Rahul is still learning what is Indian Politics.

     
    Jagan wanted AP CM position like his birth right to inherit after his fathers demise. But his experience is just one year in AP politics and he is very young. Only 37 yrs old. It will be difficult for him to control the older bracket politicians if he would have made CM. Has he supported the High Command and party, by this time he would have been in State and Central good position. Unfortunately he was surrounded by some selfish, inexperienced people and his over ambitious nature has spoiled it. The realisation will come late for him.

    Great personality like Telugu Super star Chiranjeevi could not make much impact in politics in spite of he had good followers in AP. Jagan will loose mass base as he has not started his political career with the masses and now it might be too late for him as he has already created enemies within Congress party. History has proved it and time will prove it again. Wish good luck to Jagan.
