Former chief ministers K Chandrasekhar Rao of Telangana and YS Jagan Mohan Reddy of Andhra Pradesh are following similar political strategy in facing their respective State governments. Both the former chief ministers want to fight with their State governments with Delhi as a centre. BRS working president K T Rama Rao, along with his party leaders met Telangana Governor CP Radhakrishnan recently and submitted a memorandum complaining against the State government for encouraging the MLAs’ defections and protocol violations. In a similar way, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, along with his party leaders, met Andhra Pradesh Governor S Abdul Nazeer recently and complained over the attacks on his party leaders by the ruling TDP leaders.
In the first step both BRS in Telangana and YSR Congress in Andhra Pradesh met the Governors of their respective states and made a complaint against the State governments. In the second step the leaderships of both parties have decided to take the agitation with Delhi as a centre to attract nation-wide attention.
Now YSR Congress party has decided to stage a dharna in Delhi. YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy said that he would stage a dharna in Delhi on July 24 in protest against the sustained attacks on his party workers allegedly by the ruling TDP leaders.
YS Jagan said that there is no law and order in Andhra Pradesh and that he is going to protest on the streets of Delhi. Meanwhile, BRS working president KT Rama Rao said that they will also meet all the constitutional heads in the country, including the President of India to make a complaint against the State government over the attack on the Constitution. The BRS in Telangana and the YSRCP in Andhra Pradesh are facing pressure from their respective State governments.
The leaderships of both parties thought if they sit silently on this, the party leaders will lose confidence in them and on their party.
They have decided to bring the State governments’ attitude towards their parties to the attention of the national parties. For this, they have decided to run the politics with Delhi as the centre. While in Telangana the Congress is in power, in Andhra Pradesh the TDP alliance in which the BJP is also a part, is in power.
Even though the BRS is fighting against the Congress, the BJP may not support it and some political parties may support it.
The YSR Congress is fighting against the TDP government. The Congress and other anti-BJP parties may support its agitation.
YSRCP, BRS plan to take political fight to Delhi
