Within 24 hours of the “open letter” written by YSR Congress Party president and former Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy that he would not field any candidate in the MLC elections, his group on Saturday announced that it would indeed jump into the election fray.
The Jagan group MLAs met at the residence of Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy and finalized the name of Ramireddy Pratap Kumar Reddy for the MLC seat. Pratap, who was in the Praja Rajyam Party till the other day and contested from Kavali assembly constituency in 2009 elections, joined the Jagan camp long ago and played instrumental role in making Jagan’s Odarpu Yatra in the constituency a grand success. He is the owner of a prominent corporate school and college in Kavali in the name of his father.
It was rather surprising strategy on the part of Jagan group to field its MLC candidate. Since Pratap is an independent candidate, it definitely amounts to violation of Congress party discipline and therefore, the MLAs are liable for disqualification from the party. Jagan hopes to garner the support of more MLAs for the victory of Pratap Reddy and it might lead to collapse of the government.
