YS jagan Mohan Reddy is going to take the oath as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh tomorrow at indira gandhi Municipal Stadium, Vijayawada. jagan is the Second Chief Minister for the Truncated State. YSR Congress has got a historic mandate of 151 MLAs in the 175 members house and TDP is confined to just 23 of them.
Even before taking the oath, as many as 20 TDP MLAs reportedly started making attempts to join YSR Congress anytime soon and are sending 'feelers' to jagan to this effect. jagan Mohan Reddy is learned to have rejected their offer saying that he is against encouraging defections from other parties.
If jagan gives his nod, these 20 MLAs propose to declare themselves as "real TDLP" (Legislature Party) and seek Speaker's approval to merge TDLP into YSRCLP. This happened in Telangana Assembly as well without any legal complications. But jagan is sticking to the principle that MLAs from other parties are admitted only if they submitted resignation to their posts and contest as YSRCP candidates.
