YSR Congress party president and Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy is likely to leave for New Delhi on Thursday on a special mission, according to highly placed sources in the party.
Sources said Jagan had sought an appointment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the appointment has been confirmed for Thursday evening.
“The chief minister is expected to leave for the national capital in the morning and might stay overnight and return to Vijayawada on Friday,” sources said.
Though the exact agenda of the chief minister’s meeting with the Prime Minister is not known. Apart from the regular issues concerning the state including additional borrowings and revised expenditure for Polavaram, Jagan might discuss certain other issues as well.
There is also a possibility of the chief minister extending his party’s support to the National Democratic Alliance on the Presidential and Vice-Presidential elections scheduled to be held in July.
The last time Jagan had a meeting with the Prime Minister was on April 5 and it was a lengthy meeting for over 45 minutes. He discussed various issues pertaining to the state; and after that, the Centre had eased the borrowing limit of the state.
A day after his return from Delhi, Jagan addressed his cabinet meeting, where he announced his full-fledged battle against the Telugu Desam Party headed by N Chandrababu Naidu, so that the YSRC would be in power for the next 20-25 years.
The launch of Gadapa Gadapaku Prabhutvam programme and the Samajika Nyaya Bheri bus yatra of the ministers followed Jagan’s Delhi visit, leading to the speculations that Jagan might go in for early elections to the state.
Though there was a talk that the chief minister would meet Modi again on April 29 during his visit to Delhi to attend the conference of the chief ministers and the chief justices of the high courts of the country, it did not happen. He returned to Tadepalli without meeting the PM.
