No one is permanent in YSR Congress except for Jagan. It is like his whole and sole proprietary. Previously, VijayaSai Reddy was said to be the Number 2 in the party but it looks like Sai Reddy is also out of the radar now.
Change in VijayaSai Reddy is clear and surprising in the last three months. Firstly, we have seen the abuses disappear from his usually very nasty Twitter account. These days, his account is all about Sanskari English tweets.
Everyone thought it is due to some warning by Rajya Sabha Chairman.
But the issue got further murkier when Sai Reddy moved closer with TDP top brass – Chandrababu Naidu and Balakrishna at Taraka Ratna’s final rites.
Sai Reddy is a relative of Taraka Ratna but the way he moved extra close to Naidu and Balakrishna raised doubts.
Last week, Jagan stripped Sai Reddy of a crucial post at the party indicating that he is not happy with the MP’s behavior.
But then, Sai Reddy seems to be not caring this warning.
Taraka Ratna’s eleventh-day ceremony is happening on March 2nd. Balakrishna and Vijayasai Reddy are doing this together. Cards were printed on the names of both of them.
This has started doubts in the YSR Congress cadre now. “Is Sai Reddy revolting against Jagan? Is he up to something?” they suspect?
Sai Reddy is not a grassroots leader. He never contested a direct election. Normally such a leader should not worry about YSR Congress or any party for that matter.
But then, Sai Reddy is Accused Number Two in all the disproportionate cases of Jagan. He was also the auditor of Jagan’s companies and is also a party in all internal decisions and strategies of Jagan.
Sai Reddy is not someone who can be taken lightly. So even his silence is worrying the cadre.
