YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy has kept his promise given to his aide and auditor of his firms V Vijaya Sai Reddy by announcing him as the party candidate for the Rajya Sabha elections.
Jagan made the announcement at the YSR Congress party central committee meeting held in Hyderabad on Thursday. The meeting was attended by all the party MLAs, MLCs and MPs attended the meeting.
The party will get only one RS seat, out of four seats that have fallen vacant; and it can comfortably win the seat as it has more than the required number of MLAs (44) to win the seat.
Vijay Sai Reddy, who had been close to YSR family for a long time as the auditor of Jagan’s firms, joined the party during the 2014 elections.
He has been made the general secretary of the party. Sai Reddy filed his nomination papers later in the afternoon.
