Cine couple Dr Rajasekhar and Jeevitha accused the YSR Congress party chief YS Jaganmohan Reddy of launching his party only with the sole aim of becoming the chief minister of the state.

Addressing a media conference in Hyderabad today, they said they are not with Jagan. Jagan doesn’t want others to gain focus and recognition in his party, both of them charged. “Jagan developed envy after we had gained attention of the public at the Jala Deeksha at Vijayawada and he and his party leaders had kept us at a distance,” Rajasekhar and Jeevitha said.

Accusing Jagan of dreaming of becoming the chief minister on sympathy wave after his father YSR’s death, they said Jagan had launched his party aiming the chief minister’s post only. “He wants to find fault with congress but if that is true why would his father’s brother YS Vivekananda Reddy continue in the congress?” they asked.

When reporters asked them to comment on mega star and PRP leader Chiranjeevi, the cine couple said Chiranjeevi had merged his party with congress due to his inability to run the party.
