Rajya Sabha: Jagan’s Mediation Fails as Sai Reddy Resigns
Jagan’s Mediation Fails: Sai Reddy Steps Down from Rajya Sabha
In a major political development, YSR Congress Party (YCP) leader Vijaya Sai Reddy has officially resigned from his Rajya Sabha position, marking the end of his political career. On Saturday morning, Sai Reddy left his official residence in Delhi and headed to the Vice President’s residence, where he submitted his resignation letter to Rajya Sabha Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar. The resignation was presented in the official format required by the Speaker, and Dhankhar confirmed that necessary follow-up actions would be taken.
Guru Murthy’s Effort to Persuade Sai Reddy
Meanwhile, YCP MP Guru Murthy paid a visit to Sai Reddy’s residence in Delhi for a private discussion. Following their meeting, Guru Murthy addressed the media, revealing that he had urged Sai Reddy to reconsider his decision to retire from politics. According to Guru Murthy, Sai Reddy responded positively to the suggestion but refrained from divulging the reasons behind his decision.
The Resignation Process
After the meeting, Sai Reddy, accompanied by Guru Murthy, left his residence. However, Sai Reddy bid farewell to Guru Murthy before proceeding directly to the Vice President’s residence to submit his resignation. While Guru Murthy continued interacting with the media outside Sai Reddy’s residence, Sai Reddy avoided making any public comments. Instead, he simply waved at reporters and left in his car, maintaining a composed silence.
Rajya Sabha: The Impact on YSR Congress
This resignation comes despite YSR Congress Party’s attempts to mediate and retain Sai Reddy within the political fold. Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy reportedly played a key role in the mediation efforts, which ultimately proved unsuccessful. Sai Reddy’s departure signals a significant shift within the party, raising questions about its leadership and future strategy.
This resignation has sparked discussions within political circles, leaving party members and supporters contemplating the reasons behind Sai Reddy’s exit and its impact on the YCP’s political trajectory.
