No place for Jagan in that Book

The book 'Vote Of Confidence - Profiles of Young Politicians' by Aashti Bhartia is an attempt to constructively analyze several young politicians who are poised to lead us.

Aashti, who was educated at Columbia University, has written this book to project the aspirations of India's Young and Influential Politicians for the future of the country. She met the Young Politicos, took their personal interviews, paid constituency visits and also interacted with the people around them. The young politicians profiled in the book are: Akhilesh Yadav, Sachin Pilot, Ghanshyam Anuragi, Jyotiraditya Scindia, Meenakshi Natarajan, Ajoy Kumar, Ashok Tanwar, Manick Tagore, Janardhana Swamy, Jitin Prasada, Jayant Chaudhary, Nilesh Rane, Milind Deora, Sidhant Mohapatra, Kalikesh Deo, Deepender Hooda, and Anurag Thakur.

However, Aashti gave a miss to YS Jagan who is the much-talked about Young Politician in the country in the recent past. From UP's Akhilesh Yadav to Meenakshi Natarajan and Sachin Pilot, she gave a detailed study but nothing referring to Jagan. Did she avoided Jagan because of his corrupt past or couldn't reach out to him as he was in Jail since few months? Whether she knowingly or unknowingly avoid Jagan's column is not yet know, but this has become a talk in the political circles raising doubts.

Chiru And Jagan Joined Hands

Congress party in the state is of the feeling that MP Chiranjeevi and YSR-C Chief Jagan have joined hands now. They have joined hands in becoming the headache to the party but nothing in physical.

Apparently, CM Kiran is right now worried by two major political groups in the state. One is megastar Chiru's group that is lobbying strongly for the post of CM for their leader. Second one is Jagan's party that is always using opportunities created by Congress rivals to knock him down. On the flip side, Kiran is finding it easy to handle Botsa, DL and even TRS Party and their issue.

Reports are saying that already a few Telangana based anti-CM groups have joined hands to extend their support to Chiru, to make him next boss of state.

YSR-C on the other hand is attracting more and more leaders from Congress every day. Though no one is coming into public now, they will give punch to ruling party all of a sudden, says an analyst.

If these things happen, Kiran will face a forced exit in the state. Off course, that will lead to the collapse of whole AP Congress but not just him. Let us see how our CM will handle these headaches.

Proved! YSR-C Is Anti-Telangana Party

TRS MP Vinod has fired on Jagan's party for giving support to Pranab Mukherjee in the presidential election. They say that Vijayamma is no way concerned about anyone else in the state except her son.

Earlier YSR-C has declared that they are extending support to UPA candidates Pranab and Ansari for President and Vice-President posts. Nellore MP Mekapati has issued a press-note on Jagan's name clearing the party stand in prez-polls. However, TRS is not able to digest this decision of Jagan and is making severe accusations now. 'Only for the sake of Jagan's bail, Vijayamma has joined hands with UPA to vote for staunch Telangana opponent, Pranab Mukherjee. This clearly proves that YSR-C is an anti Telangana party and people should teach them a lesson again like in Parkal', stressed TRS MP Vinod.

When YSR-C is telling clearly that they have opted for Pranab, as they have only two people as options, TRS' words are not sounding true.

Jagan takes Congress side, shocks BJP

YSR Congress party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy is all set to vote for UPA candidate Pranab Mukherjee in the upcoming Presidential poll.

Party leaders say, Jagan had made up his mind to support Pranab Mukherjee over BJP candidate Sangma after much thought. The reason for doing so is that Jagan doesn't want to lose the secular tag attached to his party by extending support to BJP candidate, as this move will distance muslims from YSRC. Another reason behind YSR Congress stand is that Pranab Mukherjee might probably win the Presidential poll even without the support the support of Jagan. So, being on the winning side is a better idea rather than committing suicide by supporting losing candidate.

By taking Pranab's side in the Presidential poll, he made it clear that he would be supporting UPA or Third Front in 2014 polls, but never considers BJP. This came as a shock to NDA which expected to form an alliance with YSR Congress in future.
