There are great expectations on CM Jaganmohan Reddy’s Delhi visit. He is going to attend a meeting being organised by Union Home Ministry on the Naxalite problems. Jagan will be having a special meeting with Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Speculation is rife that Jagan is going with a determined plan to convince and make Amit Shah accept his plea on allowing re-tendering of Polavaram hydel project and also review of Power Purchase Agreements.
Jagan is not meeting PM Modi who is on a three-nation tour abroad. The Prime Minister’s Office has recently made its objections to Jagan Circar claiming prior approval from Modi for its decisions on Polavaram and PPAs. Amit Shah is Number 2 in Modi government. Now, Jagan is expected to raise the Polavaram and PPAs issues before Shah.
Analysts say that this is indeed a tough situation for both YCP and BJP. Both the parties are looking for an upper hand in the Andhra politics. There are still doubts whether Shah will give his support to Jagan. The Modi-Shah duo are known for their BJP-centric politics. All their strategies and plans would be always towards weakening other parties and strengthening the BJP in all states in the country. Amid these developments, there is lot of tension among YCP leaders over the immediate outcome of Jagan visit.
