The inevitable has happened. Rebellious Congress MP from Kadapa Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday resigned from his MP seat, expressing anguish over the Congress high command’s attempt to isolate him and split his family.
Jagan is learnt to have faxed his letter to Lok Sabha Speaker and also party president Sonia Gandhi. His mother Y S Vijayalakshmi, who represents Pulivendula assembly constituency in Kadapa, is also believed to have resigned from her assembly membership. Both of them are also likely to quit the party post. Watch Sakshi TV Live
The decision was taken in the wake of reports from New Delhi that the AICC disciplinary committee headed by A K Antony is going to meet in the evening to take action against Jaganmohan Reddy. The young MP expressed anguish over the way the high command successfully alienated his uncle Y S Vivekananda Reddy from Y S Rajasekhara Reddy family by offering him a berth in the Kiran Kumar Reddy cabinet. Besides, he also felt upset with the high command inviting Praja Rajyam Party to join the cabinet. He told his followers that the developments clearly indicated that the high command is planning to kick him out. So, it is better to resign than being shunted out, say sources close to Jagan.
