Andhra Pradesh latest news : After the party’s defeat in the assembly elections, YCP chief Jaganmohan Reddy started a purge. It is reported that he is already working on this and is also changing the presidents of the districts.
Recently, Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy was finalized as the President of Prakasam District YCP. But no official announcement has been made yet. Jagan has given the task to Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy to fix YCP in the district. With this, Chevireddy is holding a series of meetings with the district leaders and activists. Chevireddy is busy in dissolving all the old committees and setting up new working groups. Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy is not related to Prakasam district. However, Jagan Ongolu gave him the MP ticket. After the defeat in that election, it was thought that he would go to his own district, Tirupati. But Chevireddy decided to settle down as Prakasam district leader.
For the first time in the 2014 assembly elections, Chevireddy Bhaskara Reddy, who contested on behalf of YSRCP from Chandragiri assembly constituency, won as MLA. He was with YCP Odina Jagan. Back in the 2019 election, Chevireddy won as MLA for the second time with a margin of more than 41 thousand votes against TDP candidate Pulivarthi Nani. With YSRCP coming to power in the state, he was expected to get a ministerial post. However, Chevireddy did not get a place in Jagan’s cabinet due to social issues. Even though he did not get the post of minister, Chevireddy got four positions to one.
After winning as Chandragiri MLA, he got the post of government whip. In 2019, she became the chairman of TUDA, and in 2021, she became an ex-officio member of the governing council of TTD. Chevireddy was able to give the Chandragiri ticket to his son Mohit Reddy in the 2024 assembly elections by using his relationship with Jagan.
It was thought that Chevireddy Bhaskara Reddy would be away from direct politics as his successor entered politics. But exceptionally, Jagan announced the name of Chevireddy Bhaskara Reddy as Ongole MP candidate. Sitting MP Magunta Srinivasulureddy joined TDP and Jagan thought to put a strong candidate in the contest there… Chevireddy Bhaskara Reddy was entrusted with the responsibility of Ongolu constituency and given the MP ticket.
Chevireddy also acted as the regional coordinator of Santanuthalapadu, Kavali and Kandukuru assembly constituencies. Chevireddy is moving forward by coordinating key leaders YV Subbareddy and Balineni Srinivasa Reddy in Prakasam district YSRCP. While the activists who know that he is going to be the district president also say that they have found a strong leadership. They say that they will make the party stronger in the next five years.
