Daggubati Purandeswari rose to powerful positions in national politics as NTR’s daughter. She served as Union Minister and is now a significant leader in BJP AP unit. As expected, she took a long time and carefully considered the ultimatum given by AP CM Jaganmohan Reddy. She finally decided not to join the ruling YCP. The decision was announced after her arrival from the US and long discussions with family members and sympathisers. Consequently, Daggubati Venkateswara Rao decided to leave YCP and stay away from politics for now.

Purandeswari’s decision to ignore Jagan ultimatum is creating a sensation in AP politics. Jagan offered to give good position to her if she joins the YCP. It is a good opportunity for Purandeswari. There would not be such big advantage for her in BJP which has very limited scope in Andhra even in the coming election. Moreover, BJP may tie up with TDP boss Chandrababu Naidu with whom she has long time differences.

Despite all this, Purandeswari chose to continue in the BJP. Analysts say that Daggubati family’s decision indicates the future political consequences in AP. Purandeswari has definite information how Jagan Circar is going to face huge crisis sooner than later. It is because of the hard line being taken by the Modi-Shah duo. As it is, YCP is facing an uncertain future. Its government is getting stuck in unprecedented financial crisis due to demolitions and reverse decisions.
