It looks like the price of YSR Congress party MLAs defecting to the Telugu Desam Party in Andhra Pradesh has increased steeply, if one were to go by the statements of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy himself.Initially, when three or four YSR Congress party MLAs defected to the TDP, Jagan made wild allegations that TDP president N Chandrababu Naidu had lured them by offering them Rs 15-20 crore each.
When a few more MLAs ditched him and joined the TDP, the price of these MLAs went up to Rs 25-30 crore, as alleged by Jagan in the local media.And during his Delhi visit on Tuesday, Jagan told media in the national capital that Naidu was purchasing his party MLAs like “cattle in the market” by offering them Rs 40 crore each.
It was surprising as to how the cost had gone up from Rs 25 crore to Rs 40 crore in a span of one week. And, may be, this will prompt more MLAs to jump the fence into the TDP!Notwithstanding the hue and cry of Jagan, the defection of MLAs from his party into the TDP is still continuing. Indications are that another 5-6 MLAs are in the queue to take a plunge into the ruling party.
