CRUCIAL MEETING: Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy after coming out of Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s residence in New Delhi on Thursday. — NEW DELHI: Kadapa MP and the late Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy’s son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy met Congress president Sonia Gandhi and discussed the political situation in the State. Later, Mr. Jagan told journalists that she had asked him to leave the decision (on appointing a new person in the place of Chief Minister K. Rosaiah) to her and she would take care of everything. He said they discussed at length the party situation in Andhra Pradesh. Even as his supporters and followers were pressurising the party high command to make him the Chief Minister of the State, Mr. Jagan simply added that he had faith in Ms. Gandhi and would abide by whatever decision she took on the issue. He dismissed as speculation when asked whether the campaign to make him the Chief Minister after his father’s death was true. “This kind of speculation is not good.” Though Dr. Rajasekhara Reddy’s political advisor K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao accompanied Mr. Jagan to 10 Janpath, the residence of Ms. Gandhi here, he was not present during the one-to-one meeting Mr. Jagan had with her. Ms. Gandhi’s political adviser Ahmed Patel joined them after some time, it is said. Later, Mr. Jagan left for Hyderabad in the evening. Meanwhile, sources close to the party leadership said that during the meeting Mr. Jagan made it clear he had been misunderstood of instigating some party leaders to issue statements against the high command on the “make Jagan CM campaign”. He and his supporters never spoke against the present incumbent Mr. Rosaiah and had been cooperating with him. Ms. Gandhi is learnt to have advised him to learn to swim in the political current first as he had a long way to go.
