YCP President Jaganmohan Reddy is moving closer to KCR and Modi. He is doing it despite knowing their negative impact on YCP’s poll prospects. Analysts say Jagan has everything to gain personally if he maintains friendly relations with the BJP and the TRS. He has to save himself from the illegal assets cases in the CBI and also protect his properties in Hyderabad.

Jagan was literally scared and totally afraid whether the Congress party would come to power in 2018 Telangana polls. Luckily for him, KCR won the election and there was no danger to Jagan’s properties in Hyderabad. Moreover, KCR is now lobbying with greater force for Jaganmohan Reddy in Delhi. Questions are being asked why there’s no progress in the CBI cases. After TDP distanced from BJP, the CBI cases investigation slowed down considerably.

There’s a new concern among certain sections of his own followers that Jagan is only interested in his personal safety and security in the face of cases. The YCP’s development as a party is only secondary for him. Such feelings are becoming a real challenge for YCP leaders.
