MLC Y S Vivekananda Reddy today said he will remain a Congressman forever and that he is ready to contest the bypolls for the seats vacated by Jagan and his mother.
“I will remain a Congressman till my last breath. I am a loyal and disciplined Congress worker,” he told reporters here.
Vivekananda Reddy’s assertion came after a brief meeting he had with Jagan at the family estate at Idupulapaya in Kadapa district earlier in the day.
The meeting was reportedly held at the behest of some family members who wanted to broker peace between Jagan and his uncle in the wake of the bad blood between the two.
To a query, he said he will have all the love for Jagan as his brother’s son but will continue in Congress.
Vivekananda Reddy said he wanted to take Jagan to Sonia to bridge the differences but, unfortunately, Jagan chose to resign.
Asked about reports of Jagan launching a new party, he said, “You better ask him.”
Vivekananda Reddy’s assertion that he will remain loyal to the party is seen as a setback for Jagan as the latter enjoys respect and love of the people in Kadapa district, particularly in the Pulivendula Assembly segment which is a family bastion.
