It is very common for politicians to jump from one party to another party, based on their necessities and which party is in ruling. Gannavaram MLA Vallabhaneni Vamsi is no exception to this list, considering his stints from the last one year.
Vamsi has become the focus of media attention, with him conducting press meets once every two days. His statements during these press meets have become the talk of the town, and are stirring up a lot of political controversies as well. He is lashing out at TDP and its members, while praising CM Jagan, and elevating him to the next level. For over a year now, despite being a part of TDP, Vallabhaneni Vamsi has been extensively supporting YSRCP and Jagan.
Vamsi’s comments are directly affecting YSRCP members Dhutta Ramachandra Rao and Yarlagadda Ventrao, the latter having lost in last year’s elections, from the same constituency. The comments that have infuriated them the most are Vamsi saying that he would compete in elections from the YSRCP – if by-elections were to be conducted right now – and win the elections as a member of the YSRCP.
Furthermore, Vamsi went on to say that he’s been a close aide to the YSR family for 40 years now, and had always assisted Y.S.Rajasekhar Reddy. He also said that he assisted and did as Jagan asked him to do after Rajasekhar Reddy passed away.
Reacting to his comments, YSRCP members are questioning Vamsi’s loyalty, saying that it was Vamsi who made sure that YSRCP members suffered when he was in TDP. They also said that Vamsi had tormented many members of their party, in all the 10 years that he’s been with the TDP. They questioned if giving Vamsi a seat was the cost of their loyalty to their party in all these years.
Additionally, Vamsi also said that he would be making a really important and wonderful announcement in the next 15 days. With this statement, speculations are rife that Vamsi may in fact have been officiated into YSRCP.
