Ys Jagan

Latest Updates News:-Jagan has been at war with Congress over the last few weeks. It may be recalled that Jagan owned Sakshi channel has aired analysis on some of the Congress leaders including Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Rahul Gandhi, which did not go well the party high command. Jagan’s uncle YS Vivekananda Reddy had earlier met Sonia Gandhi in New Delhi and told the media that he will try to patch things up between Congress high command and Jagan.

On Sunday, in what appeared to be a last-ditch attempt by the Congress to avoid a political crisis in Andhra Pradesh, party president Sonia Gandhi met Kadapa MP Jaganmohan Reddy’s uncle YS Vivekanand Reddy here.

As he flew back to Hyderabad in the afternoon, Vivekanand Reddy was understood to be carrying a message for the rebellious MP from the party high command.

Highly-placed Congress sources said there was no immediate move to take any disciplinary action against Jaganmohan, notwithstanding his attack on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

“As of today, Jaganmohan’s matter has not been referred to the party’s disciplinary committee,” a senior Congress leader said. He said “any more provocation” would force the high command’s hands, noting that “not many can survive in the Congress after attacking the Nehru-Gandhi family”.

While a split was imminent with Jaganmohan not ready to settle for anything less than Chief Ministership and the party determined not to oblige, both camps were biding their time as they weighed their options. Chief Minister Kiran Kumar Reddy, meanwhile, said new ministers will be sworn in on Wednesday and his Cabinet will have a “balanced” representation from all religions, castes and regions.
