As YSR Congress Party president and former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy announced plans to undertake a padayatra one-and-a-half years ahead of the next assembly elections, his former aide and ex-Rajya Sabha member V. Vijay Sai Reddy is reportedly planning his own statewide padayatra.
Sources indicate that Sai Reddy, who was once regarded as the No. 2 in YSRCP before leaving the party in January last year, intends to begin his yatra as early as June, well ahead of Jagan’s march.
Sai Reddy has publicly stated that the primary reason for his exit from YSRCP was the influence of a “coterie” surrounding Jagan. His main target appears to be YSRCP state coordinator Sajjala Ramakrishna Reddy, whom he holds responsible for the party’s defeat in the 2024 elections.
Claiming that he endured humiliation and sidelining for over three years, Sai Reddy alleged that the inner circle deliberately portrayed him as a “backstabber” in Jagan’s eyes.
It is not yet clear under what banner Sai Reddy will launch his padayatra. However, the focus is expected to be on countering corruption allegations, rebuilding his political credibility, and demonstrating grassroots strength.
Speculation is rife that Sai Reddy may eventually align with the BJP or even launch an independent political platform, depending on the public response during his march. His reported connections with senior BJP leaders in Delhi have fueled discussions about a possible realignment, including strengthening the BJP in alliance with Jana Sena to chart a more independent political path.
