Jaganmohan Reddy resigns from Congress | Rebel Congress MP from Kadapa YS Jaganmohan Reddy has
resigned from the party after the Congress expressed anger over the episodes telecast on Sakshi television channel owned by him criticised the party leadership. His
mother Vijayalaxmi also resigned as MLA from Pulivendula Assembly seat.
According
to sources, Reddy is likely to float his own political party called Youth Sramik
Ryot (YSR). Jagan has sent his resignation letter to Congress President Sonia
Gandhi. His four-page resignation letter claimed that there was 'politics against
him' in his own party. "I resign from primary membership of Congress and Lok
Sabha.
The AICC has insulted me repeatedly in the last 14 months. I was not treated with
the respect I deserve. My father's legacy was hijacked by others and I was not
allowed to continue my Odarpu yatra," said Jagan in his letter. Jagan has been
defying Congress leadership by going on 'Odarpu yatra' reportedly to meet and
console the family members of people who committed suicide following the death
of his father YS Rajashekhar Reddy. Sakshi TV, a channel owned by Jagan, has also
been very critical of Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and party
General
Secretary Rahul Gandhi. The channel stated, "The 125 year old Congress party has
suffered a huge loss in Bihar . It got only four seats. It shows that Rahul Gandhi's
magic is not working. The party has lost local elections in several states." "Andhra
Pradesh is the only state where the Congress is strong. But of late even here
the party is suffering. Every change is being questioned. The Chief Minister in
Andhra Pradesh has been changed but it remains to be seen what Kiran Kumar can
do," the TV report added. Earlier, Sakshi TV had launched a frontal attack on
Sonia Gandhi and the organisation in a one-hour programme. Manmohan Singh was
also targeted along with the "coterie around Sonia" for the "sorry state of affairs
in Congress."
