The ruling party in Vizag, YCP, has suffered a significant setback with the resignation of former MLA Panchakarla Ramesh Babu. According to media reports, Ramesh Babu’s decision to leave the party stems from his discontent with the ticket allocation issue in Pendurthi. Despite his efforts to communicate his concerns to the YCP high command, his attempts proved futile.
As the party’s district chief, Ramesh Babu had worked tirelessly with party workers to secure YCP’s victory in the previous elections. However, he expressed dissatisfaction with the leadership, stating that he was unable to address the grievances of party activists and convey them to Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s attention. Frustrated by his inability to fulfill the expectations of his supporters and party workers, Ramesh Babu tendered his resignation from the primary membership of the YCP.
During a press conference, Ramesh Babu clarified that he had no personal differences with anyone in the party. He also mentioned that TTD chairman YV Subba Reddy, who is known to be Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s maternal uncle (babai), had been his mentor, and he still holds respect and values their association.
It is worth noting that Ramesh Babu’s mention of Subba Reddy’s name has attracted attention. This raises questions about whether Ramesh intentionally pointed out the connection between Jagan and Subba Reddy. The episode surrounding Ramesh Babu’s resignation may hold more significance than meets the eye.
Further developments in this matter are yet to unfold, and it remains to be seen how this resignation will impact the YCP’s position in Vizag. The departure of a prominent leader like Ramesh Babu is undoubtedly a blow to the party, and it poses challenges for the YCP to address the concerns raised by its members and retain their support in the region.
