UP results proved YSR charisma in AP!

The results of the assembly elections in UP have vindicated the claims of YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy that the Congress party had come to power in Andhra Pradesh twice only because of the charisma of late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and not that of Sonia Gandhi or Rahul Gandhi.

“All these days, the Congress leaders have been arrogantly claiming that it was because of Sonia and Rahul that the party could come to power in different states. But the coterie of Congress high command cannot camouflage facts for a long time. The campaign of Gandhi family yielded no results in Uttar Pradesh which strengthens our contention that YSR was responsible for the two-term victory in the State,” party spokesperson Jupudi Prabhakar said.

He said the UP election results have proved that regional parties have come to stay and YSR Congress is emerging as a force to reckon with in all the future elections.

“The people are no longer in favour of someone sitting in Delhi and dictating terms; what they need is local flavor and YS Jaganmohan Reddy will be the personality who will lead the party to victory in the 2014 elections,” he said.

The Congress bosses should learn the lessons and at least now come out of the spell of the coterie and see ground reality. It has to stop harassing YSR family members, refrain from foisting false cases and understand the sentiments of the people and local issues, he said.
