Jagan Shocks Akhila, Shilpa!

Jagan Shocks Akhila, Shilpa!

Allagadda MLA Bhuma Akhila Priya, who defected from YSR Congress party to the TDP and was trying to capitalise on the sentiment of her father Bhuma Nagi Reddy’s death, received a rude shock from YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy on Monday.

Akhila Priya thought she would get her uncle Bhuma Brahmanand Reddy elected unanimously in Nandyal by-elections by playing the sentiment card with Jagan’s mother Vijayamma, thereby eliminating competition within the TDP from senior leader Shilpa Mohan Reddy, who is keen on contesting in the bypolls.

Even Vijayamma gave her positive response. And Akhila tried convince Naidu to give the party ticket to Brahmanand Reddy.

However, Jagan gave a big shock to Akhila Priya. Following his direction, YSRC in-charge and former MLA Katasani Rami Reddy declared at the party plenary in Kurnool that senior leader in-charge of Nandyal Rajgopal Reddy would contest as the party candidate from Nandyal in the by-polls.

What is more shocking to the Bhuma family is that Brahmanand Reddy is own son-in-law of Rajgopal Reddy. It means Jagan has decided to field Rajgopal Reddy against his own son-in-law, if the latter is given the TDP ticket.

Jagan party’s announcement was a shock even to Shilpa Mohan Reddy, who was planning to shift loyalties to the YSRC and contest from Nandyal, if he was not given the TDP ticket. Now, he cannot go into the YSRC, if he does not get the TDP ticket. However, if Brahmanand Reddy drops out from the contest against his own father-in-law, then, Naidu might field Shilpa Mohan Reddy and that would be an interesting battle.
