Big Blow For Jagan: Avanti & Grandhi Quits!

Since losing power in Andhra Pradesh, the YCP and its leader, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, have been dealing with a wave of resignations from prominent party leaders.

Mopidevi Venkata Ramana, Balineni Srinivas Reddy, Beedha Masthan Rao, and a few others have already left the party. The latest entrants to this list are former Minister Avanti Srinivas and former Bhimavaram MLA Grandhi Srinivas.

Avanti Srinivas announced his resignation earlier this morning and sent the resignation letter to Jagan Mohan Reddy and the party’s Uttarandhra coordinator Vijaya Sai Reddy.

Avanti criticized Jagan for his actions while speaking to the media post his resignation. He said that Jagan has to respect the people’s mandate.

He said, “The people gave the NDA a mandate to govern for five years and it is unfair to hold protests just five months into its rule without allowing the government enough time. YCP party workers have faced a lot of challenges over the past five years. While Jagan issues orders from Tadepalli, it is the party workers who face the on-ground struggles. A party should operate democratically and not in this manner.”

On the other hand, just a few hours after Avanti Srinivas’s resignation, former Bhimavaram MLA Grandhi Srinivas also resigned from the YSR Congress Party. He sent his resignation letter to party chief Jagan Mohan Reddy.

Recently, Grandhi Srinivas faced a series of IT raids at his residence and offices. He was popular for defeating Pawan Kalyan in the 2019 elections. He expected a cabinet position after such a huge win. However, the YCP high command ignored him and didn’t give him any major position. It is heard that he decided to resign from the party after being fed up with the biased leadership of Jagan.
