Mr Ch. Harirama Jogaiah, who is known for switching sides even in his old age, said today he would join the YSR Congress party led by YS Jaganmohan Reddy on April 2.

Appreciating Jagan as the most capable leader after the YSR, the defector-politician told journalists in Eluru that the YSR Congress party would sweep the forthcoming by polls in the state. “We will win all the by polls,” he claimed.

To another question, Jogaiah said the actor-turned-politician Chiranjeevi can’t bring victory to the Congress party in the 2014 elections.

It may be recalled that Jogaiah joined the erstwhile PRP launched by Chiranjeevi and hailed his leadership but after a few days left the party as the mega star didn’t give importance to him.

Will the same scene repeat for the old man in the YSR Congress party too? (J)
