With the Election Commission issuing notice on the life-time election of Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy as president of the YSR Congress, its general secretary and government advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy said that the party would soon write to the EC on the issue.

Ramakrishna Reddy told the media persons on Thursday that the EC’s notice had reached the party office. He said that the party had not communicated anything to the EC and wondered who sent the communication to the EC.

He said that the party workers and the leaders have felt that it would be better to have Jagan Mohan Reddy as the life-time president of the party. “It was our wish and desire” to have Jagan Mohan Reddy as the permanent president of the party, he said. However, Jagan Mohan Reddy had rejected the proposal and wanted democratic process to be followed.

Sajjala further said that the party would elect Jagan Mohan Reddy as its president once in every five years. The party had amended its constitution making the president’s term for five years, he said.

Sajjala said that they were preparing the communication to be sent to the Election Commission as per the rules. He said that the party would also give a clear reply to the Election Commission on the doubts expressed by the EC on the presidential election.

“There would be no problem. It is a simple issue. A communication gap. We will clear it,” Sajjala told the media persons, stating that the issue is over and there is no controversy as media visualises.

AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy’s political advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said that YS Sharmila appears to have decided to start her political party in Telangana. She has not consulted Jagan on this matter. But it has been the strong opinion of Mr. Jagan Reddy that the YSR family should not start a political party in Telangana. The AP CM is of the feeling that any such political party in Telangana would severely affect the overall prospects of the AP State.

Sajjala has admitted that there have been differences of opinion on some political issues between the brother and the sister. But there were no conflicts of any kind. The brother-sister relations will continue. The demand for YSR family political party in Telangana has been there since the separation of the united Andhra Pradesh. But Mr Jagan’s strong opinion is that the two Telugu States should cooperate with each other.

Sajjala said that he had advised Sharmila not to start her party in Telangana. But she is bent on running a party for continuing the YSR ideology there.

Sajjala said that on the part of the YSRCP, they have no plans to enter Telangana in future. A discussion on this has been held several times in the past but that will not happen.

AP Chief Minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy’s main advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has launched a direct attack on State Election Commissioner Nimmagadda Ramesh Kumar. He said that the SEC has released the local poll schedule only to benefit the Telugu Desam Party.

Sajjala said whole people of Andhra Pradesh have been watching the working style of Nimmagadda for over a year. Ramesh Kumar should explain why he had not conducted the local body elections in 2018. Now, he is taking such decisions that would endanger the lives of the people.

The Government has taken a serious view of the SEC moving house motion against the single bench judge order. Against this backdrop, Sajjala has made an all round attack on the SEC and the TDP. He further said that the continuing attacks on the temples seemed to be happening at the behest of some political forces. They were not hesitating to resort to conspiracies of desecreations of idols.

Sajjala said that when the people were prosperous and happy, some forces were diverting their attention with their dangerous conspiracies.

CM Jagan Reddy’s Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has said that Chandrababu Naidu is pursuing bankrupt politics by misusing religious feelings among the people. He further said that the TDP chief is making all out efforts to come closer to the BJP in order to survive in politics.

Sajjala referred to China Jeeyar comment that it was no longer an issue who had desecrated the Ramatheertham idol. But the Swamijis and Peethadhipathis should observe self-restraint on this issue. Action can be taken only when the culprits are caught and their true intentions are known.

Sajjala accused Chandrababu Naidu of resorting to mean and cheap politics. The Jagan regime was ruling the State rising above narrow considerations of caste and religion. All the desperate efforts of Chandrababu were only to impress the BJP leaders and secure its patronage.

Sajjala also accused the previous TDP regime of demolishing temples in Vijayawada city during his rule. Also, over 29 devotees were killed in the pushkarams.

AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy’s most power Advisor Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy has made an all out attack on the TDP. The reason for his latest sharp reaction was a challenge given by TDP former MLA Yerapatineni Srinivasa Rao.

Yerapatineni resorted to ‘thigh slapping’ and ‘moustache twirling’ today. He gave out a warning that the YCP had already lost public sympathy and support to the extent it would get washed away whenever election would be held.

Sajjala gave his most bitter ever response to this. He said that Yerapatineni had not realised yet that the TDP had already been sunk in the sea. Sajjala said that the TDP was right now surviving on a ventilator support for oxygen. The day is not far off when the YCP would disconnect even that ventilator support to the TDP.

Sajjala issued a counter challenge, saying that their party was ready for elections anytime. The YCP was not at all afraid and it would be every ready even for early elections much in advance of the Jamili elections.

For various reasons, the TDP is repeatedly brining to the fore the Jamili elections. Nearly two years are already over and Jamili elections may come in less than two years. Advance election heat is already upon AP voters now with the ruling and opposition parties raising their allegations and counter allegations.
