Kadapa: YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, a former Congress MP and son of late Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Rajashekhar Reddy, on Tuesday announced that he will launch a new party within 45 days. Jagan Mohan Reddy announced his decision to launch a new party at an informal meeting with his supporters at his home town Pulivendula in Kadapa.
He said that the Andhra Assembly elections in 2014 will be his answer to all his critics.
"I will be launching a new political party in 45 days. Lakhs and lakhs of people still adore my father late YS Rajasekhara Reddy and appreciate the enormous work done by him," the 37-year-old Jagan said.
Sources close to Jgana have been saying that he will launch a new party by the name of Youth Sramik Ryot (YSR) Congress.
Jagan Mohan Reddy had resigned as Congress MP on November 29. His mother Vijayalakshmi had also resigned from Andhra Pradesh Assembly. Jagan had sent his resignation letter to Congress President Sonia Gandhi. His four-page resignation letter claimed that there was politics against him from his own party. He also faxed a one-line letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar tendering his resignation.
"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.
Lok Sabha Speaker Meira Kumar announced in the Lok Sabha on December 3 that Jagan Mohan Reddy's resignation had been accepted with effect from November 29.
