V Vijay Sai Reddy’s Resignation from YSRCP: A Deep Dive into the Political turmoil
The resignation of V Vijay Sai Reddy from the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) and his Rajya Sabha membership has sent shockwaves through Andhra pradesh’s political landscape. sources close to Reddy reveal that his decision was not impulsive but the result of a series of internal conflicts and frustrations within the party.
A founding Member’s Disillusionment
As a founding member of the YSRCP, Sai Reddy had been instrumental in shaping the party’s trajectory. Though, the party’s crushing defeat in the recent assembly elections marked a turning point. Reddy reportedly urged Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, the party’s president, to implement corrective measures and reorganize the party. Unluckily, his suggestions were ignored, leaving him increasingly sidelined.
The Role of I-PAC and Rishi Raj singh
One of the key factors behind Sai Reddy’s discontent was the growing influence of the Indian Political Action Committee (I-PAC), led by Rishi raj Singh. Reddy believed that Rishi was responsible for stripping him of his position as the regional coordinator for north Andhra. Despite his reluctance, Reddy was compelled to contest the Lok Sabha elections from Nellore on Rishi’s advice, only to face a humiliating defeat.
Internal Power Struggles
Reddy’s frustration deepened with the rise of Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, who gained significant control over the party’s operations across Andhra Pradesh. additionally, the elevation of Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy as the state coordinator and the removal of Sai Reddy’s associates from the party’s social media wing further alienated him.
The Liquor Scandal Allegations
The final blow came with allegations linking Sai Reddy to a liquor scandal. A close aide of Jagan, currently absconding, accused Reddy of accepting bribes, while the actual beneficiaries were allegedly a former minister from Rayalaseema and his son. When Reddy brought this to Jagan’s attention, the latter reportedly dismissed the matter, stating that he was “not bothered even if Sai Reddy leaves the party.”
