The family war between YS Vivekananda Reddy and YS Jagan continues. Vivekananda Reddy created a flutter when he announced that he was joining the cabinet of Kiran Kumar Reddy and also that he would bring Jagan to Sonia and make him apologize to her.
Jagan is now in Idupulapaya after quitting the congress. Vivekananda Reddy met him but the meeting was brief. Later Vivekananda Reddy announced that he will remain in the congress. He so said that if a minister post as offered to him he would accept it.
YS Vivekananda Reddy the uncle of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called on his nephew this morning. Viveka took oath as minister much against the wishes of Jagan.
Jagan wanted Viveka to have no truck with the congress after the party insulted him and the family.
Viveka met Jagan for a few minutes. It is not clear as to what transpired between them. Viveka told the waiting media that there were no differences in the family.
Agriculture minister YS Vivekananda Reddy who is now getting ready to contest the Pulivednula assembly seat is not very sure about his victory.
Viveka said that it was not easy for the congress party to win in Pulivendula and Kadapa. Viveka in a way has acknowledged that YS Jagan is a real force in Kadapa and the congress may not be able to match up to him in charisma and garner votes.
Viveka is also making efforts to get the party ticket for his son-in-law for the Kadapa parliamentary seat to fight against YS Jagan.
When YS Vivekandanda Reddy called on his nephew Jagan he faced some embarrassing moments.
The supporters of Jagan raised slogans against Viveka the moment he stepped out of Jagan’s house and asked him to quit his minister post.
They also tried to prevent him from leaving by obstructing the passage of his car. An angry Viveka warned the slogan shouting supporters and even twirled his moustache to send a clear signal that he is ready to take on the supporters of Jagan.
2010/12/25 4:59:32 Though they parted ways, the minister for agriculture, Mr Y.S. Vivekananda Reddy, and former Kadapa MP, Mr Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, came together on the eve of a Christmas at the residence of YSR’s close relative, Mr C.V. Subba Reddy, in Pulivendula of Kadapa district on Friday.
Speculations were rife that there was a pact between the two. However, sources said that they only participated in prayers. It is reported that Mr Subba Reddy invited them to his residence and was obliged by both the families.
Earlier, he even expressed his readiness to take on Mr Jagan in the ensuing bypolls in Pulivendula constituency. Mr Viveka’s wife Soubhagyamma and daughter Sunita Reddy paid tributes to YSR at his ghat in Idupulapaya and had lunch with Jagan’s family members.
The supporters of YS Jagan gave some anxious moments to the police as well as officials when they tried to stop YS Vivekananda Reddy from visiting Kanchikacherla mandal in Krishna district.
The supports of Jagan questioned Viveka and minister Parthasarathy as to why they were undertaking the visit without informing the consistency in charge of the party Vasantha Krishnaprasad.
YS Vivekandanda Reddy till the other day had been claiming that he is winning in Pulivendula. He also claimed that he will win with a comfortable margin.
The results are a big shock for him. Viveka was never in the race from the first round. Viveka has been trailing in all the rounds. What is worse is that he was unable to even put up a stiff fight.
Vijayamma is now set to win with a record margin. She is now ahead with a majority of 52,000 votes. Viveka has left the counting center after the first round and he is now incommunicado.
YS Vivekananda Reddy the congress party candidate from the Pulivendula assembly seat expressed confidence that he will win the election. Viveka is contesting against Vijayamma wife of late YS Rajashekar Reddy.
Viveka said that there was large scale cross voting in his favor and he is confident of victory.
With the polling in Kadapa and Pulivendula now over the attention of everyone has now shifted to the result.
While we have to wait until May 13 to know the result, the various informal surveys and general talk in Kadapa and elsewhere is that Jagan and Vijayamma are sure shot winners.
There is no doubt whatsoever in anyone’s mind about the result. The only interest now is the margin of victory. Many people in Kadapa say that there is no chance of DL Ravindra Reddy even retaining his deposit. The same is being cited about YS Vivekananda Reddy.
The ugly fracas in the Assembly is turning into a major embarrassment for the government. Chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy is under pressure from TDP and other members to take action against YS Vivekananda Reddy.
Some reports say that YS Vivekananada Reddy has decided to submit his resignation. His term as MLC is also ending on Tuesday.
With no congressman coming to his rescue, Viveka is now seriously mulling about continuing in the congress.
He may now side with Jagan and this will surely be a big boost to the YSR Congress.
The family politics in the YS family seem to be getting murkier. YS Vivekananda Reddy who took on Jagan and became minister is now all set to make the family fight even bitterer.
Viveka is said to have decided to field his daughter to contest against nephew YS Jagan for the Kadapa parliamentary elections. The seat fell vacant after Jagan quit as MP.
2011/5/13 23:19:36 YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy has stated that, he is the first person who feels very sad for the defeat of his uncle YS.Vivekananda Reddy, because they both belong to one family. Jagan said that, if his uncle Vivekananda Reddy wants to join his party he welcomes him whole heartedly and ready to offer him the deserved post.
However, there is no response from YS.Vivekananda Reddy, because he thinks otherwise. He is interested to bring Jagan back into Congress fold rather than joining his party. But, Jagan who already floated a political party and is determined to teach a lesson to Congress party can’t be expected to join it anyway. Hence, it is Vivekananda Reddy who need to think about the scope of joining YSRC party.
2011/5/18 7:27:15 YS.Vivekananda Reddy who was at New Delhi to give explanation to party high command for his defeat in the by-elections, responding to Jagan’s statement in which he expressed his sympathy for his defeat has said “I don’t need his sympathy. Every one knows that, Jagan and his mother won the elections because of the sympathy-votes only. Hence, I don’t need his sympathy. I am also not interested to join his party even if he offers president post of his party. I will continue in Congress party forever.”
Viveka’s wife and Jagan’s sister are polling agents
2011/5/8 5:43:19
Sowbhagyamma, wife of the congress candidate in Pulivedula YS Vivekandana Reddy and Sharmila, brother of the YSR Congress candidate YS Jagan worked as polling agents. They worked as polling agents at the Bakaraopuram polling booth in Pulivendula.
2011/2/8 22:20:29 All the leading News Channels of the state, right now are airing sensational news about YS Jagan Mohan Reddy’s die hard follower Konda Surekha and her husband K.Murali’s ‘U’ turn with Jagan.
They report that, Konda Surekha and her husband who went underground since a week or so were said to be distancing from Jagan’s camp. Because, they came to know that, the Jagan’s proposed political party is against bifurcation of the state and opposes the Telangana issue.
The media also reports that, Konda Surekha couple even consulted PCC president D.Srinivas asking him not to suspend from the party for their dissident attitude shown towards the party during the last few months. It is reported that, D.Srinivas has assured them of no action against them and asked them to actively participate in the Congress party affairs as usually. If, this is genuine news, then undoubtedly it is going to affect the Jagan’s camp very badly. But, the reports aired by the media circles may be a part of the game played by either Congress or Jagan to test the waters.
YS Jagan said that the media reports of a bitter war of words between his uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy and him are not correct.
Jagan admitted that there were differences between him and his uncle but he still considers him a family member.
Jagan said that he loves his uncle very much and despite his difference of opinion on continuing in the congress he will not hold any ill will against his uncle.
2011/2/15 21:32:24 The latest development from Jagan’s end is that, he had a meeting with all his family members on Tuesday at Pulivendhula, where he told them if they could convince his ‘Babai’(uncle) YS Vivekananda Reddy to leave the Congress party and to join his newly launching political party, he is ready to offer him the deserved post.
He made it clear that, he didn’t have any personal differences with him and have high regards for him in his heart. Jagan told his family members that, it is his Babai who left him and not him. He told them that, Vivekananda Reddy continuing in the Congress party is not advisable as he is facing an embarrassing situation while his colleagues are engaged in defaming his own brother late YSR. He suggested that, instead he would reunite with his own family members to give a fitting reply to the evil Congress leaders. This might be considered as the last call for his Babai Viveka from Jagan. Let’s see where and how it will ends up.
2011/4/1 8:57:03 Former minister YS.Vivekananda Reddy has declared that, he is ready to contest in the by-elections against his sister-in-law Vijaya Lakshmi w/o late YS.Rajashekar Reddy. He said that, he will not consider the sentiments or relationships for contesting in the elections. He will obey the party high command orders, what ever it may be.
He is also insisting his party to allow his son-in-law Narreddy Rajashekar Reddy contest on YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy.
Will oppose Cong. if it criticizes late YSR: Viveka
2012/4/9 4:39:14 The Congress party, which until tried to own former Chief Minister late YS.Rajashekar Reddy and his schemes, is ready to take 'U' turn on its stand. It is gearing-up to criticize him and his policies in the by-election campaign.
During the recent co-ordination committee meeting held by Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy and cabinet ministers, it was decided to counter Jagan Mohan Reddy. But, Minister Veera Siva Reddy said it is not possible to counter Jagan Mohan Reddy, while supporting his father. So, the majority of the cabinet ministers have opined that it is better to disown and distance from late YSR, so as they can give a fitting reply to Jagan in the by-elections.
Obviously it irks YS.Vivekananda Reddy, younger brother of late YSR. He said, 'Even today, my brother is my role model and if the Congress party plans to go against, I will oppose and fight it out. It is not wise to distance from such a great leader who was once praised by one and all for his great leadership and welfare schemes. He is the one who brings the party to power for twice in the state and brings a huge support of MPs, with which the Center is surviving now. So, I will seriously oppose any kind of attempt to tarnish his image."
YS Jagan and chief minister Kiran Kumar Reddy are not seeing eye to eye. In fact Jagan has so far not even acknowledged Kiran as the CM.
Jagan who has been doing ‘deeksha’ over one issue or the other has chosen Hyderabad as his venue for his ‘Fees Pooru’.
Jagan will commence his deeksha on February 18 to coincide with the budget session of the assembly. This way Jagan wants to embarrass Kiran as much as possible.
Jagan is getting support form several quarters including the TRS as well as students from Hyderabad.
YS.Jagan Mohan Reddy has stated that, he is the first person who feels very sad for the defeat of his uncle YS.Vivekananda Reddy, because they both belong to one family. Jagan said that, if his uncle Vivekananda Reddy wants to join his party he welcomes him whole heartedly and ready to offer him the deserved post.
