YS Jagan has been accused of his hot-headed nature from longtime. Many senior leaders who have earlier worked in party have criticized Jagan and alleged him of ill-treating them and mentioned that as the reason for quitting the party. And the latest we hear is that party’s senior leader and Nellore MP Mekapati Rajamohan Reddy has been distancing from the party activities for a while.
Apparently, Jagan has ‘insulted’ Mekapati during their last interaction. Mekapati reportedly addressed Jagan as “Babu” since the latter is much younger to him, but party insiders say that this has not gone well with Jagan. According to party insiders, Jagan had told Mekapati on his face, “Call Me Sir, Not Babu”. Also, Mekapati said to have made a few recommendations to Jagan in running the party which Jagan had ignored.
Mekapati felt that he was ‘insulted’ and ‘snubbed’ by Jagan and has been staying away from party activities in Nellore district. Even Nallapureddy Prasanna Kumar Reddy who was active in Nellore’s party activities is presently inactive. Despite showing up good numbers in Nellore district in the last general elections, Jagan’s party is now struggling for leadership in the district.
