YSRCP chief Jaganmohan to meet Modi on Sunday before swearing-in as CM

Chief Minister-elect of Andhra Pradesh Jaganmohan Reddy had a hectic day spread over the two Telugu-speaking States on Saturday. After chairing two meetings with his newly elected Assembly and Lok Sabha members, Reddy flew to Hyderabad from Gannavaram in his private chopper.

Meanwhile, the CM-elect, along with Chief Secretary LV Subrahmanyam will head to New Delhi on Sunday to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invite him to his swearing in ceremony. Sources said Jagan could also offer the YSRCP’s issue-based support to the NDA.

The day culminated with ESL Narasimhan, Governor for both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana State, clearing the YSRCP-LP letter requesting to invite him (Jagan) to form the Government in Andhra Pradesh. He will be sworn-in at the refurbished Indira Gandhi Municipal Stadium in Vijayawada on May 30 at 12.23 pm, as per a Raj Bhavan communique.

Apart from his wife, party leaders Botsa Satyanarayana, Dharmana Prasad Rao and Adimulapu Suresh accompanied Reddy to Raj Bhavan.

They also met Telangana Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao (KCR) in his camp office. KCR has agreed to be present at Reddy’s swearing-in.

The meeting also assumes importance as the YSRCP chief during the election campaign had said his party would support whoever promises Andhra Pradesh the Special Category Status.

Earlier, the day began with a meeting of the YSRCP Legislature Party in which all the newly elected 151 members participated. They unanimously elected party chief Jaganmohan Reddy as their leader.

It was followed by an interaction with the newly-elected 22 Lok Sabha members.

In a virtual indication of how he intends to run the government, he urged the party members to be transparent and honest in their functioning. He cautioned them that it was because of corrupt practises that N Chandrababu Naidu was punished by God and he was ousted from power.

“TDP got only 23 seats and the results also came on May 23. God has written a beautiful script with 23,” he said.
