There are many senior leaders who genuinely wish to see Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy succeed in politics. Even though not all of Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s close associates are part of YSRCP today, several of them still hold deep affection for their late friend’s son and hope he emerges stronger in the political arena.
Yet, for reasons known only to him, Jagan has been reluctant to bring many of YSR’s trusted aides and long-time associates into the party structure. Except for a select few, most of YSR’s loyal companions have been kept at a noticeable distance. To many, it appears as though Jagan does not want their influence—direct or indirect—around him.
Even Sureedu, who was inseparable from YSR during his political journey, was sidelined early in Jagan’s leadership. Why these decisions were made remains unclear, and ultimately, it is up to the son to decide whether he wants to carry forward all of his father’s associates—there is no rule binding him to do so.
Recently, former MP and senior political analyst Undavalli Arun Kumar met with YSRCP leader and former minister Ambati Rambabu, a moment that Rambabu himself shared on his channel. This meeting has revived discussions within YSRCP circles about the value of having someone like Undavalli in the party—a sharp thinker and an honest voice whose analyses often support YSRCP’s political narrative.
Undavalli has always expressed respect and affection for YSR, often recalling that it was KVP Ramachandra Rao—one of YSR’s closest confidants—who introduced him to the late leader. Despite this, leaders who believe Undavalli’s presence would strengthen the party hesitate to suggest it openly to Jagan.
It’s not just Undavalli; many feel YSRCP would benefit from bringing in more of YSR’s respected associates and intellectual allies. Leaders like Ambati Rambabu seem to share this sentiment, but these quiet attempts appear to have made little progress. As a result, relationships with YSR’s old friends remain limited to personal interactions rather than official party roles.
While there is a clear desire within the party to welcome more intellectuals and honest voices, invisible barriers continue to prevent these ideas from moving forward—leaving several senior leaders privately disappointed.
