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 Sources sayvthese leaders have realised that none of them would be considered for the CM post, as they have become outdated.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!
