Jagan Mohan Reddy makes it after a 9-year wait
The HinduRiding the crest of a strong anti-incumbency wave against the Telugu Desam Party government and after a nine-year wait, YSR Congress Party leader Y.S Jagan Mohan Reddy inched closer to his dream of becoming Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, steering his party to a landslide victory. Celebration time As the news of Mr. Reddy’s grand victory spread, a large number of his supporters gathered at the YSRCP office at Tadepalli in the capital region of Amaravati to celebrate the occasion. The voting pattern in favour of Mr. Reddy and against Mr. Naidu indicates that a big anti-incumbency wave swept across Andhra Pradesh. In contrast, Mr. Reddy’s aggressive campaign against Mr. Naidu’s “misrule,” turning capital construction into real estate business, corruption in irrigation projects and failure in fulfilling election promises, seemed to have had traction with voters.
