As the general elections are fast-approaching, YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is pushing his legislators and leaders to hit the ground, and suggesting them to perform or perish.
As about 30 to 40 sitting MLAs haven’t rolled up their sleeves, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy is said to have decided to replace them, and give chance to new faces in the 2024 elections to avoid negative impact on the party’s poll prospects.
After the launch of the ‘Gadapa Gadapaku Mana Prabhutvam’, a mass outreach programme, in June, about 70 MLAs were found to be non-performers. Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy had then cautioned and advised them to rise to the occasion.
