Be it about the possible shifting of Amaravati capital city or the suspicions raised in Kodela Siva Prasada Rao’s unnatural death, Botsa Satyanarayana is the first and only one in YCP to speak about such crucial and controversial issues without any hesitation. Botsa is highly vocal-like never before and he is hinting the policy decisions of Jagan’s administration. And in both matters, Jagan remained silent indicating his nod with Botsa’s statements.
In fact, it was Botsa who had proposed Jagan’s name as the leader of YSRCP Legislature Party and Jagan had unanimously elected as YCP Legislature Party Leader.
Botsa is not just a senior leader, but he is calling the shots in YCP second to Jagan. Even in the tickets confirmation before general elections, Botsa had played a crucial role and ensured that his followers and all his family members get MLA tickets. While many feel that Vijay Sai Reddy is Jagan’s right-hand man, Botsa is now emerging as the mouthpiece of Jagan in his government. So, even in cabinet and even in government, Botsa’s word has garnered a lot of significance. With Vijay Sai Reddy confined to Rajya Sabha and serving as YSRCP Parliamentary Party Leader and Jagan’s uncle YV Subba Reddy has been made TTD Chairman, Botsa has no stopping in the government and administration. Also the fact that he is holding the key portfolio of Municipal Administration and Urban Development, it has come in handy for Botsa and Jagan.
The moot question is that is Jagan behind Botsa’s comments? Prima facie looks so!
