If the reports in political circles are to be believed, Congress
high command had opened its new channels communication with YSR Congress
President, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy regarding a possible merger move to
counter the TDP in the state.
For last couple
of days, Congress leaders such as PCC President Raghuveera Reddy have
also hinted at a possible nexus. Jagan is struggling very hard these
days to keep his MLAs flock intact in the state after TDP unleashed
Operation Akarsha.
Already 10 MLAs are gone and
many more are in line. The support from a national party may be very
much necessary to Jagan to keep his flock together and also to get some
kind of protection in his crucial disproportionate assets cases.
Congress
is also looking at a possible turn around in the state of AP with
Jagan’s admission. Jagan has also been maintaining good relations with
BJP but he is disappointed that BJP is doing nothing to contain TDP’s
Operation Akarsha. Hence Jagan is planning to teach BJP a lesson by
moving closer with Congress slowly but surely!
