The identification of the 18 MLAs referred to by Jagan in the YSRCP ‘Hitlist’ has caused speculation. While the names of Gudivada Amarnath, Pinipe Vishwarup, Taneti Vanitha, Jogi Ramesh, Kottu Satyanarayana, Karumuri Nageswara Rao, and Roja have been previously mentioned as ministers, there are reports that former ministers Balineni Srinivasa Reddy, Kodali Nani, Mekathoti Sucharita, Anil Kumar Yadav, Avanti Srinivasa Rao, and Pamula Pushpa Srivani are also not actively participating in the ‘Gadapagadapaku’ program.
The discussions within the YCP indicate that Grandhi Srinivasa Rao, Vasantha Krishnaprasad, Kolagatla Veerabhadraswamy, Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, and Reddy Shanti are among the MLAs who may be on the list. The suspense continues as to whom Jagan will target.
In fact, sources within the YSRCP state that approximately 65 MLAs are not actively participating in ‘Gadapagadapaku’. If participation in this program is used as a criterion, tickets should be denied to all of them.
Notably, senior minister Peddireddy Ramachandra Reddy from Rayalaseema, Finance Minister Buggana Rajendranath Reddy, and another senior minister from Uttarandhra, Botsa Satyanarayana, are not actively participating in ‘Gadapa’. Although Peddireddy’s name has been mentioned in the past, it is believed that Jagan would hesitate to deny him a ticket. It has been reported that the IPAC team has submitted a report to the Chief Minister’s office indicating that Speaker Tammineni Sitaram is also not participating in the ‘Gadapa Gadapaku’ program.
Additionally, Kodali Nani, Taneti Vanitha, Kottu Satyanarayana, and Karumuri Nageswara Rao are also not actively participating in the program. However, considering the social class dynamics, it is unlikely that they will be denied tickets.
