It appears agriculture minister Y S Vivekananda Reddy has entered into an agreement with his nephew and YSR Congress Party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on the Pulivendula by-elections.
As part of the agreement, Vivekananda Reddy would not contest against Jagan’s mother Y S Vijayalakshmi from Pulivendula for the by-elections to Assembly. Instead, he would contest to the Legislative Council seat under the MLAs’ quota. And the MLAs from Kadapa, owing allegiance to Jagan would extend all cooperation to Viveka to win the council seat.
Interestingly, this deal is said to be acceptable even to the Congress leadership as it wants Viveka to continue in the Kiran Kumar Reddy cabinet. If he contests from Pulivendula and loses the elections, he would not be able to retain the cabinet berth and there is every possibility of he going back to the Jagan camp. So, the best way is to allow him to nominate him to the council, while fielding some other candidate in Pulivendula.
On the other hand, Jagan group MLAs have also announced their support to Viveka in the MLC elections provided he would not contest against Vijayalakshmi in Pulivendula.
