Will Jagan’s New Party Also Have Tricolour?

Will the new political party, believed to be floated by Kadapa MP Y S Jaganmohan Reddy in the days to come have the same tricolour flag of the Congress?

This is the speculation doing rounds in the political circles, after watching an incident at Guntupalli village of Pisipalli mandal in Prakasam district on Monday. As part of the Odarpu Yatra, Jagan visited this village and hoisted the tricolour flag as per the request of the local leaders. Interestingly, the flag had neither the Congress symbol – Charkha, nor the Ashok Chakra of the national flag. It was simply a tricolour flag with saffron, white and green.

One does not know why Jagan had hoisted this flag, but it led to widespread speculations that it could be the party flag of his proposed political party, in the event of he being expelled from the Congress. Already, a party called YSR Congress Party, has been registered with the State Election Commission on a benami name; and who knows, it might even become the official name of the Jagan party, if the speculations are to be believed!
