The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) is doing everything possible to pacify the disgruntled leaders in the party as the Assembly and Lok Sabha elections are approaching fast in Andhra Pradesh.
Sources say that Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is speaking to some of the leaders. Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy was supposed to launch several industrial projects on February 14 (Wednesday) in a virtual mode, but Industries Minister Gudivada Amarnath did it after the cancellation of the Chief Minister’s programme.
According to the information, YSRCP general secretary Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy and others have been instructed to talk to the sitting MLAs and the leaders who are unlikely to get tickets for the Assembly elections. The YSRCP has made changes in more than 60 Assembly constituencies as part of an exercise to ‘field the winning horses’ in the elections. At least 10 sitting MLAs are said to be unhappy with the rejig exercise even as the party has told them that the survey reports were against them.
