In Andhra Pradesh, Y S Jaganmohan Reddy today resigned from his Lok Sabha seat and also quit the Congress party. He faxed his resignation to Lok Sabha Speaker this afternoon. In an open letter written to Party President Sonia Gandhi, Jagan stated that he has been suffering humiliation in silence over the political developments that had taken place in the last 14 months and had no other option but to leave the party. Alleging that conspiracy hatched at his back, he said he was shocked and deeply hurt at the politics of luring his uncle Vivekananda Reddy with cabinet berth paving way for fissures in his family. He also said baseless allegations were lodged against him to isolate and send him out of the party. He said his mother Vijaya Lakshmi, who is representing Pulivendula constituency in the state Assembly, is also tendering her resignation. The Young MP has been increasingly hostile towards party high command for the past few days. He continued his ‘Consoling Tour- odarpu yatra’ against the wishes of high command and a television channel owned by him launched even negative campaign against party leadership. Meanwhile, the Congress spokesperson Manish Tiwari said in Delhi that Congress party and the state government would not suffer any losses due to Jaganmohan Reddy’s resignation. Responding to questions from reporters, he said several leaders have resigned to party earlier only to come back.
