The number of Congress leaders saying alvida to its party only for joining YSRC seems to be leaving the party with a sound history in utter shock. After so many people bee-lining the Lotus Pond and Chanchalguda jail for taking blessings of YS Jaganmohan Reddy and family, the time has now come for Congress MLA from Addanki, Gottipati Ravi Kumar.

Mr Ravi Kumar, who was said to be YSR's loyalist met Jaganmohan Reddy at Chanchalguda jail today and apparently discussed his political agenda. After the mulakhat, Ravi Kumar revealed to the media that he would be joining YSRC league soon. Giving justification to his jump, he said schemes implemented by YSRC should be continued and it would happen only when Jaganmohan Reddy  becomes chief minister.

While some Congress MLAs are wanting Jagan to become CM, in democracy one should not forget that it's the decision of the public that would matter at the end. Are people in Andhra Pradesh looking forward to see Jaganmohan Reddy as chief minister? It's a million dollar question for which time alone has an answer.
