Former Chief Minister and YCP leader Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is currently grappling with the aftermath of his party's significant defeat in the 2024 Assembly elections. The loss has highlighted the urgent need for a professional political strategist to help revive the party's fortunes. The once-strong YCP, which secured 151 seats in 2019, saw a dramatic fall to just 11 seats in the recent polls, underscoring the impact of the absence of strategic guidance. In 2019, political

In the 2019 Andhra Pradesh elections, Prashant Kishor and his team from IPAC played a pivotal role in securing a major victory for Jagan Mohan Reddy’s Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP). However, the 2024 elections saw a drastic reversal of fortunes for Reddy, with IPAC's involvement leading to a stunningly poor performance. From being the Chief Minister, Jagan Mohan Reddy was reduced to a mere MLA, with YCP securing only 11 seats compared to the anticipated 151. Despit

The latest revelation involves a staggering expenditure of Rs 3.62 crores by the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) on Egg Puffs for its staff over the past five years.

India celebrated Independence Day on the 15th of this month with traditional festivities, including the Governor of Andhra Pradesh hosting an “At Home” event at his residence.

Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy, leader of the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress (YCP), is set to give a significant boost to his wife YS Bharati's political career. With his mother YS Vijayamma and sister YS Sharmila distancing themselves from the party due to property disputes, Jagan is considering making Bharati a prominent figure in the YCP. This move aims to fill the leadership void and strengthen the party's appeal, particularly among women voters. In previous election cycles, Vi

Power has a profound impact on the lives of politicians, a fact vividly illustrated by recent events involving former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. During his tenure as CM, Jagan enjoyed the luxury of flying in private jets, a privilege that facilitated his personal and professional travel with utmost convenience. This exclusive air travel arrangement underscored the distinction and ease afforded by political power. However, the recent electoral loss has brough

CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has completely disregarded Prashant Kishor, the man who led his poll campaign in 2019 and played a significant role in the humongous win. Jagan visited the I-PAC office today and remarked that Prashant Kishor is mere nothing and it is the I-PAC team that does all the hard work. Jagan noted that the verdict in 2024 will be much more in favor of YCP than in 2019. He said the party would exceed the 151 MLA and 22 MPs tally.  The YSR Congress presiden

YS Jagan Mohan Reddy's YSR Congress is an unassailable force in the Rayalaseema region. This can be understood if we look at the fact that the party won 49 out of the 52 assembly segments in the Seema region in the 2019 election. YCP outrightly dominated TDP here.  But come 2024, the equation has changed almost completely. On one side, there is the anti-incumbency factor and on the other, there is the Sharmila factor. Sharmila, who was extremely determined to eat into the v

Now that the Andhra Pradesh elections are wrapped up, here’s a look at the initial reactions of sitting CM Jagan Mohan Reddy and opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu.  “I would like to thank my grandparents, my sisters, my brothers and sisters, my farmers, my SC, my ST, my BC, my minorities and all my youth who came like a tsunami to bless me in yesterday's elections. Heartfelt thanks to all my workers who worked hard for our @YSRCParty victory. I assur

Andhra Pradesh’s chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is done with the polling process in the state as AP has seen nearly 81% polling which is slightly more than2019 tally.  Coming to the point, CM Jagan has now started a personal endeavour as he has scheduled a foreign tour along with his family members.  Jagan Mohan Reddy has been permitted to travel abroad by the CBI court in Hyderabad.  CBI court in Nampally,  Hyderabad grants permiss

Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is usually a very confident and composed man. But that isn't even remotely the case if we look at the latest public speech delivered by the YCP chief.  In his latest public meeting today, Jagan Mohan Reddy said he has lost hope that the elections are being held in a fair and square manner as he suspected the opposition leader Chandrababu Naidu. "The belief that elections will be held properly in AP is eroding day by day.

The rivalry between Jagan and his sister Sharmila is the last thing that AP people expected after seeing Sharmila put in her tireless efforts for Jagan's win in the 2019 election. But the situation now is such that Sharmila and Jagan are unable to bear the sight of each other.  It appears to be that Jagan himself is unable to comprehend the nature of the relationship he is having with Sharmila amidst the changed circumstances.  Recently, Jagan publicly commen

It is known that Chandrababu Naidu was infamously arrested by the AP CID while the YS Jagan led YSR Congress government was in power and finally after all this while, Jagan has spoken about this in front of the media. "Cases against me were forged by Chandrababu Naidu & Congress. These parties considered me a political threat” Jagan said about the CBI and ED cases against himself. About the cases on Chandrababu, Jagan said “Chandrababu Naidu has done s

Andhra Pradesh chief minister and the only male descendant of late CM YS Rajasekhar Reddy, YS Jagan Mohan Reddy made a very interesting comment while speaking about his sister Sharmila.  Jagan remarked that Sharmila is more influenced by Chandrababu Naidu than himself and called this a highly unfortunate development in the context of YS family politics.  "I advised my sisters Sharmila and Sunitha to look after businesses and have their own ways and I even pr

The Undi assembly segment in the Godavari districts has garnered a lot of attention of late with the constituency having Raghu Rama Krishna Raju, a former YCP MP in contention.  As the election heat continues in Undi, there’s a lot of uncertainty on whether Raghu Rama will continue TDP’s domination in the constituency or if Jagan will successfully defeat the firebrand politician.  Undi stands as one of the strongest fortresses for the TDP, having been

For the first time, AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy has spoken in bad light about the chief minister of Telangana Revanth Reddy as he interacted with a national media outlet today.  Jagan suspected that Revanth Reddy and Chandrababu Naidu are behind the political stints of YS Sharmila in Andhra Pradesh.  “My strong point is that Revanth Reddy and Chandrababu are behind the political deviation of my sister Sharmila. They’re pushing her against me.” Jagan
