While Leader of Opposition, YS Jagan is touring Delhi complaining about defections to National Leaders, the jumpings from YSR Congress are going non-stop. The other day, Addanki MLA, Gottipati Ravi joined TDP and today, two YSR Congress MLAs have deserted the party and pledged their support to the ruling party.
Srisailam MLA, Budda Rajasekhar Reddy and Araku MLA, Kidari Sarveswara Rao joined the party this morning in the presence of CM Chandrababu Naidu. There are reports in the political circles that Seven MLAs who are with Jagan in Delhi tour will very soon join Telugu Desam Party.
YSR Congress is almost in the verge of losing the lone Rajya Sabha seat it is entitled to get. With two MLAs today, 16 YSR Congress MLAs have joined TDP so far. Jagan will need at least 44 MLAs to win the Rajya Sabha seat. The effective count of YSR Congress after the quitting of 16 MLAs is 51. So, TDP will be targeting the rest of Seven.
