There is a palpable anti-YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) mood in Andhra Pradesh, which has prompted Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to effect a sweeping change in the party’s district-level in-charges and local leaders as part of a damage control exercise in the run-up to the forthcoming Assembly elections, said Telugu Desam Party (TDP) national president N. Chandrababu Naidu.
“The Chief Minister is said to be considering the elimination of 92 sitting MLAs from the electoral race. Nevertheless, people have decided to defeat the YSRCP as they are realising the dangers of re-electing the party. Voting for the YSRCP is akin to signing one’s own death warrant,” Mr. Naidu remarked.
Addressing a meeting organised to welcome leaders of various parties from Amalapuram, Gajapathinagaram, Pedakurapadu and Tanuku constituencies into the TDP on Sunday, Mr. Naidu said Mr. Jagan was aware that his party had lost the confidence of the people and was therefore trying all the tricks up his sleeve in order to revive its sagging fortunes.
