YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) leader Jaganmohan Reddy’s release from jail has opened the door for Seema-Andhra Congress leaders opposed to Telangana and the loser in the end is the Congress itself.
Angry at the Congress’s July 30 decision to divide Andhra Pradesh, these leaders are rushing to join the YSRCP, which stands for a united Andhra Pradesh.
In the past two-three days, Pinipe Vishwaroop, a state minister, and Lok Sabha MP SPY Reddy have resigned from the party to join the YSRCP.
Though chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy has accepted Vishwaroop’s resignation, the resignations of about 12 Seema-Andhra ministers are pending with him from more than a month. In his resignation letter, Vishwaroop had stated the Telangana decision as the reason for his departure. According to YSRCP sources, he will contest the Lok Sabha election on the party ticket in 2014
