There is a popular saying. Like father, like son. In this case, CM YS Jaganmohan Reddy is following in the footsteps of his father YS Rajasekhara Reddy in implementation of welfare schemes and irrigation projects. Now, just like YSR, Jagan is also picking up a confrontation with the powers in Delhi. Union Minister RK Singh’s direct, straightforward letter to AP CM is a clear indication of how the BJP will tackle Jagan in future.
If AP CM doesn’t following the advice of Union Minister, the next step will be tackled at the level of Prime Minister Modi. There are reports that Modi is already unhappy over Jagan repeating Special Status slogan despite his private clarification earlier. It would take just a moment for Modi-Shah duo to seal the lips of Jagan who is the prime accused in many illegal assets cases investigated by the Central Bureau of Investigation.
One phone call from PMO is enough for CBI, ED and other Central agencies to enter the scene and bring back nightmares to AP CM. Analysts say that Jagan is making the same costly mistake that YSR has committed. It may be painful for Jagan at this stage to withdraw his aggressive stance on PPAs. In his time, YSR clashed and ignored advice from Sonia Gandhi and Delhi powers not to go for confrontation with Reliance over KG basin gas. There were reports that YSR had landed in many problems because of that. Even Jagan faced Congress witch hunt after YSR death.
