The buzz over the YCP’s third list has been giving sleepless nights to several party legislators and MPs. A phone call from Tadepalli is increasing anxiety among the party leaders as in all probability, it could be either over denial of party ticket or admonishing them for the poor performance and dismal score in the progress report.
In a couple of days, the party chief would release the third list and there is information that the party boss Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy had already spoken to a few of the elected representatives.
There is information that Jagan has taken up major reshuffling of his party candidates which is unusual in any political party. In the third list, around 12 Lok Sabha aspirants and 13 Assembly seat aspirants are likely to be changed. This time, the major reshuffling would affect the elected represenatives of united Anantapur, Prakasam and Nellore districts.
Jagan is refusing tickets to a few and changing the constituencies of others. While some MLAs are being asked to contest as MPs, a few are being asked to go in the reverse mode.
It is learnt that Jagan had already communicated about the changes to the respective MLAs and MPs much in advance.
In the first list, the names of 11 aspirants were declared and in the second, over 38 names were out. Such changes are usually done in every political party but the abnormality in Jagan’s case is drawing public and media attention alike.
Jagan is completely revamping the leadership in the party.
Unable to withstand the denial of party tickets, Mangalagiri MLA Aalla Ramakrishna Reddy, Rayadurg MLA Kapu Ramachandra Reddy had already put in their papers, both to their political positions and the party at large.
It is a well known fact that Jagan would never act crazily without any calculation. So, who is advising Jagan on this massive reshuffle?
