Balineni Srinivas Reddy stepped down as the Regional Coordinator for YSR Congress in Chittoor, Tirupati, and Nellore constituencies. He sent the resignation letter to Jagan citing Health problems and lack of time to concentrate on his own constituency.
Balineni is being systematically downsized in the party in the last one year or so. It all started with Jagan removing him from the cabinet while continuing a Junior like Adimulapu Suresh.
From there on, there are many insults. Balineni suspects the hands of Sajjala Rama Krishna Reddy and YV Subba Reddy for this. He feels they are prevailing on the Chief Minister and are insulting him.
Balineni is Jagan’s relative from YS Vijaya Lakshmi’s side. He is a strong leader in Ongole district and even sacrificed his cabinet berth for Jagan in 2012.
There is a propaganda in the constituency that the five-time MLA will not be given ticket in 2024.
Meanwhile, TDP’s Damacharla Janardhan who is already ahead in the constituency is smiling with the state of the Ruling party in Ongole constituency.
