As the Kapu community across Andhra Pradesh observed the death anniversary of popular leader Vangaveeti Mohana Ranga on Friday, fresh political speculation emerged over the possible entry of his daughter, Vangaveeti Asha Kiran, into the YSR Congress Party.
The immediate trigger for these discussions was a social media post by YSRCP president and former Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, in which he paid rich tributes to Ranga. In his message, Jagan described Ranga as a “great leader who treated the problems of the poor as his own and stood firmly as their voice,” and conveyed his respects on the occasion of the death anniversary.
While Jagan has routinely paid tributes to Ranga on his birth and death anniversaries in the past, this year’s message attracted special attention in political circles. This is largely due to renewed buzz around Asha Kiran’s growing public presence, especially after Ranga’s son, Vangaveeti Radha Krishna, distanced himself from active political association with the YSRCP.
Over the past few weeks, Asha Kiran has been seen taking a more active role in public engagements. Although she has consistently stated that she has no plans to join any political party, sources suggest that behind-the-scenes efforts are underway for her possible political entry, with YSRCP being seen as a likely option. Political circles also speculate that Jagan Mohan Reddy may have given a positive signal regarding her induction, fueling intense discussions in and around Vijayawada about her future role.
However, Asha Kiran firmly dismissed these reports, clarifying that she is not joining any political party and calling the rumours circulating on social media baseless. She also made it clear that no political announcements would be made from the Ranga memorial platform.
Addressing concerns about family unity, Asha Kiran stated that her recent activities were not intended to divide the family or weaken anyone. “I will work towards strengthening the Radha–Ranga Mitra Mandali. Ranga’s life continues to inspire society, and I will work to uphold his ideals,” she said.
