Hyderabad: By all indications, it is only a matter of time before the young scion of the YSR family parts ways with the Congress forming his own YSR Congress. He will not go alone, he will take along with him many MLAs.

Rationally, Jagan should wait till he nets 50 MLAs, because with one third of the legislative party with him, the anti-defection law can’t apply. But Jagan is a young man in a hurry and may not wait for so long. With nightwatchman Rosaiah in charge, there is a crisis of leadership in the local party and the AP Congress can never control or co-opt Jagan.

The Congress may try and counter the Jagan factor by using Chiranjeevi and the Prajarajyam. But the result of this can lead to totally unexpected results. Naidu who has been eliminated from Telangana will apprehend his ouster from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema.

In this situation, he can do the unthinkable: He might tie up with Jagan. Granted that there was considerable bad blood between Naidu and YSR, politics do make for strange bed fellows. Hence this possible scenario.
