Vijayasai Reddy blames Sajjala for YSRCP’s decline in A. P.
Former YSRCP MP V. Vijayasai Reddy has publicly blamed party coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy for the party's political decline. He denied allegations of corruption and land encroachment, claiming he was sidelined by party leadership.
Why it matters
This internal conflict reflects the shifting political dynamics and power struggles within the YSRCP following their recent electoral performance.
Former YSR Congress Party (YSRCP) MP V. Vijayasai Reddy has alleged that YSRCP’s State coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, with the support of some YSRCP leaders from Uttarandhra, had conspired against him by spreading baseless allegations that he was involved in land encroachments and extortion in Visakhapatnam.
Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, Mr. Vijayasai said that the allegations were made when he was serving as the YSRCP’s Uttarandhra regional coordinator, and had created a distance between him and former Chief Minister and YSRCP president Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy. He said this eventually led to him distancing himself from the party.
He attributed the YSRCP’s present political decline to the manner in which Mr. Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy was functioning.
Mr. Vijayasai denied having been involved in land encroachments or extortion during his tenure as the YSRCP party’s Uttarandhra regional coordinator.
