YSRCP wants former gen secy to review resignation decision

|January 26, 2025
The resignation of YSR Congress party general secretary and Rajya Sabha member V Vijayasai Reddy from the party and his decision to stay away from active politics created ripples among the party leaders and cadre, people familiar with the matter said on Saturday.
HYDERABAD:
Hours after tweeting his decision, Vijayasai Reddy on Saturday met Rajya Sabha chairman and Vice-President of India Jagdeep Dhankhar at the latter's residence and submitted his resignation. Later in the evening, the Rajya Sabha secretariat issued a gazette notification accepting Vijayasai Reddy's resignation and notifying the vacancy in the Upper House.
The resignation of Reddy comes at a time when YSRCP president and former Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is on his Europe tour. While there is no official statement from the party to comment on the development, some of the party leaders felt that Reddy should not have taken such a decision when the party is going through a crisis.
Senior YSRCP leader and Lok Sabha member from Tirupati Maddila Gurumoorthy said that it will be good for the party if Vijayasai Reddy reconsidered his decision, as it was the time for maintaining unity in the party to see that Jagan gets re-elected as chief minister.
"We are all wishing that Vijayasai Reddy should continue in our party. Please do not exit from politics. Experienced people like you are necessary for the party. We should all work together to bring Jagan back to power," Gurumoorthy said while talking to reporters in New Delhi.
