YSR Congress recently lost one of its senior most leaders and a hardcore YSR loyalist in the form of Balineni Srinivasa Reddy. The ex-MLA from Onglole who shared an inseparable bond with the YS family quit Jagan’s side and joined Janasena in the presence of Pawan Kalyan a few days ago.
In view of the ongoing tussle between Jagan and Sharmila with regard to the asset distribution issue, Balineni made a set of interesting comments.
“Jagan is blaming Chandrababu Naidu while his sister Sharmila is crying about the unfair distribution of properties and I don’t understand why. How can Chandrababu or NDA be responsible for the property settlement that is happening in the YS family? Moreover, Jagan’s men are saying Vijayamma is plotting to get Jagan arrested by moving the assets that are attached by the ED. Would any mother want something like that to happen to their son?” Balineni commented.
The Ongole ex-MLA added that Vijayamma is the only person who can solve this issue now as she isn’t the kind of person who would want Jagan to go to jail. “Vijayamma will step in and solve the issue soon. Jagan and Sharmila are her children and she will have equal love for them, so she will make something happen.”
However, Balineni maintained a soft stance on YSR leniency as he said he might be with Janasena now but his heart will be with YSR who gave him political life. Despite the occasional tantrum on Jagan, he came across as a fierce YSR loyalist.
