YS Jagan Mohan Reddy Announces Plans for Next Padayatra

January 21, 2026

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has clarified his plans to undertake another padayatra, emphasizing that the purpose is to stay close to the people and reconnect with them ahead of the next elections.

Speaking at a meeting at the YSRCP central office in Tadepalli, Jagan said the padayatra will begin in about one and a half years, during which he plans to spend a significant amount of time travelling among the public and engaging with them directly.

He also announced that, going forward, he will meet party workers from one Assembly constituency every week. This initiative is aimed at strengthening the party at the grassroots level, especially following the recent electoral defeat.

Highlighting the political timeline, Jagan pointed out that nearly two years of the current government’s term have already passed. With only two more budgets remaining, he noted that the government effectively has around three years left in office, signaling that YSRCP has begun early preparations for the next elections.

YSRCP leaders had earlier indicated that the padayatra could take place around 2027 and potentially continue for nearly two years, keeping Jagan continuously among the people until the elections. Since losing power, the party has largely stayed away from the Assembly and has not played a prominent opposition role, citing suppression of dissenting voices.

Political observers believe that Jagan’s padayatra aims to energize party workers and rebuild public support. However, questions remain about its political impact, especially as Jagan faces corruption-related cases, with opponents eagerly anticipating action against him.

The coming year is expected to be critical for Andhra Pradesh politics, with Jagan’s proposed padayatra likely to draw significant attention and shape party strategy ahead of the elections.
