Three sitting MPs have quit the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) after Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy took up the rejig of party in-charges for Assembly and Lok Sabha constutuencies. Even as the YSRCP leadership is putting in efforts to bring them back to the party’s fold again, grapevines suggest that more sitting MPs or MLAs are likely to follow the suit.
The YSRCP began the rejig exercise to field the winning horses in the Assembly and Lok Sabha constituencies ahead of the general elections which are likely to be held in less than two months from now.
The YSRCP leadership has released seven lists and announced in-charges for 68 of the total 175 Assembly constituencies and 16 of the total 25 Lok Sabha constituencies in Andhra Pradesh. However, the exercise led many leaders sulking and disgruntlement among the leaders who were either dropped or shifted to other constituencies began to surface.
