After losing the 2024 elections, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has completely moved to Bengaluru. He believes Andhra Pradesh is unsafe under the current government. Between 2014 and 2019, he stayed in Hyderabad, where KCR’s government offered him security and political comfort.
Now, with Revanth Reddy as Telangana’s Chief Minister and known proximity to Chandrababu Naidu, Jagan feels unsafe even in Hyderabad. So, for the next five years, Bengaluru is his chosen base.
Jagan now lives in his Yelahanka Palace near Bengaluru. The property reportedly spans around 22–23 acres and lies close to Bengaluru International Airport. Built during his father YS Rajasekhara Reddy’s tenure as Andhra Pradesh CM, the estate features a helipad, gardens, fountains, and staff quarters.
Earlier, his sister YS Sharmila Reddy and her family lived there. After their fallout, Jagan asked her to vacate, and she shifted to their Lotus Pond residence. For years, rumours circulated about how grand the Yelahanka Palace is, but no one had ever seen inside.
Recently, Jagan’s team released a video of him celebrating Diwali. Social media users claimed he was trying to appeal to Hindus while being a converted Christian. That debate aside, the video offered a brief look at the palace for the first time. It showed only a small glimpse, but it confirmed that the estate exists and lives up to its reputation.
