Senior congress leaders are backing Jagan?

It is rather surprising to see old warhorses of the Congress to rush to the support of Y S Jaganmohan Reddy’s candidature for the Chief Minister’s post.

In the last three days, veteran Congress leaders – former CM N Janardhan Reddy, former union minister G Venkatswamy, former MLA V Purushottam Reddy and APSRTC chairman M Satyanarayana Rao, came out strongly with the strong demand for making Jagan as the next Chief Minister. Interestingly, all these leaders were bitter critics of late CM Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and even tried to foment dissidence in the party against YSR.

So, what could be the reason for their support to Jagan? Sources sayvthese leaders have realised that none of them would be considered for the CM post, as they have become outdated. At the same time, they don’t want other seniors like K Kesava Rao, V Hanumantha Rao or S Jaipal Reddy to be in the top seat, which would only cause heartburn for them. The best option is to support Jagan and get into his good books at least in the fag end of the career!

Its Challenge for YS Jagan if he becomes CM

With the legacy of YSR coming to an end, a new era will begin if his son Y S Jagan becomes the chief minister and as per the party sources, that seems to be the most likely happening and it is just a matter of time. However, here is a look at the possible challenges Jagan might face.

Top in the list is said to be the Swine flu mania along with the other infectionary diseases like Viral fever, Flu etc. On the other hand, Jagan is expected to contain any disobedience from the party members which might arise in the absence of his father.

Then, there is also the challenge for him to maintain equation with seniors in the party as they are going to play a crucial role going forward. There will come a time when the YSR enigma will fade and Jagan will be on his own and it will be up to him to take the legacy forward and win the people’s heart.
