Jagan’s loyalists want new party? Is Jagan is in same mood or not?

Supporters and fans of Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, want him to float a new regional outfit to take on both the Congress and Telugu Desam in the state.

On Sunday, supporters from Darsi constituency in Prakasam district took out a rally to Mr Jagan Mohan Reddy’s residence in Banjara Hills and shouted slogans against the Congress. They went so far as to warn the Congress that if it ignores Mr Jagan, the fortunes of the party in Andhra Pradesh will soon become like Bihar. They urged Mr Jagan to float a party to teach the Congress a lesson for sidelining him.

Mr Bharath Reddy, and Mr K. Balaraju, B.Tech students from Darsi, who were part of the rally, told newsmen that Mr Jagan will not get the recognition that is due to him as long as he continues in the Congress. If he floats a regional outfit, students, youth, SCs, Muslim and Christian minorities will support it, they said. The rallyists were later allowed into the house to meet Mr Jagan.

Meanwhile, there is speculation in the media that Mr Jagan will leave for Delhi on Monday and submit his resignation from the Congress primary membership and as Kadapa Lok Sabha member.

However, Mr Ambati Rambabu, former MLA and a close associate of Mr Reddy, denied any such move.
