YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MLC Vamsi Krishna Srinivas Yadav, a prominent leader from the Yadava community, is likely to join the Jana Sena Party (JSP). He is likely to meet JSP chief Pawan Kalyan and JSP Political Affairs Committee (PAC) chairman Nadendla Manohar at Mangalagiri on Wednesday.
Sources from JSP and some close supporters of Mr. Yadav said that the MLC was unhappy with the YSRCP for a long time and has decided to go for talks with the JSP leaders.
Mr. Yadav’s friction with the party began when he was refused an MLA ticket from the East Constituency ahead of the 2019 elections, despite him enjoying a stronghold in the Yadava community which is numerically strong in the constituency. Later, he was given the post of YSRCP city president.
