AP CM Jagan Mohan Reddy flew to Hyderabad two days ago to meet Telangana’s ex-CM KCR. The meeting went on for an hour and after initial rounds of formulaic questions about the wellbeing of each other, Jagan and KCR reportedly discussed burning topics in AP and Telangana politics.
According to reports, KCR asked Jagan to be careful about assigning the MLA tickets to his candidates. KCR reportedly told Jagan to held as many surveys as he could to determine the worthiness of his MLA candidates and allot the tickets only then.KCR received a deadly blow in the Telangana election recently after he knowingly fielded over 40 of his MLA candidates who had severe anti-incumbency. KCR thought his image would overpower this ground-level negativity against his MLA candidates but that didn’t work out and BRS ended up losing power. Reportedly, KCR discussed this topic with Jagan and cited his own case as an example.However, even before KCR advised Jagan, the YCP boss had already started changing his MLA candidates in many areas after taking a cue from the Telangana election. The meeting with KCR enlightened him further, say reports.Jagan apparently felt validated when KCR advised him to alter his MLA candidates based on anti-incumbency. He has apparently amped up this MLA rejig operation upon KCR’s advice.
