In a strategic shift by the Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YCP), the release of the Second List signifies a noteworthy transformation in their election strategy. Led by Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy, this unveiling highlights a deliberate effort to introduce new faces and groom successors in what they term the “YCP Second List.”
Perni Nani’s son, Perni Krishnamurthy, alias Kittu, assumes a prominent role as the designated YCP Machilipatnam MLA candidate. This move signifies a generational transition, with Perni Nani gracefully stepping down from active politics while securing the MLA ticket for his son.
Another significant addition is Bhumana Karunakar Reddy’s son, Abhinay Reddy, appointed as the YCP’s MLA candidate for the Tirupati assembly constituency. Following Karunakar Reddy’s recent appointment as the TTD Board chairman, the decision to field his son for Tirupati indicates strategic planning for the upcoming elections.

Notably, the list also indicates a change in leadership in Chandragiri, where Chevireddy Bhaskar Reddy, known for representing the YCP in Chandrababu Naidu’s hometown, steps aside. Clearing the path for the next generation, Chevireddy Mohit Reddy is set to contest from Chandragiri, signaling a shift in the party’s approach to nurturing new leaders.
Jagan Mohan Reddy’s calculated move to prioritize younger successors over seasoned party members poses a certain level of political risk, particularly considering the impending 2024 elections’ intensity. The absence of experienced candidates raises concerns about potential challenges, making Jagan’s strategic decision a subject of close observation. The outcome of this move will play a pivotal role in shaping the YCP’s trajectory in the upcoming electoral battle, emphasizing the significance of the YCP Second List.
