Former minister Balineni Srinivasa Reddy met Chief Minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy in Tadepalli on Tuesday.The meeting was overdue as Balineni had been avoiding appointment with the chief minister.
Leaders like Balineni are turning to be a headache to CM Jagan as he is busy chalking out election strategies.Four of his MLAs cross voted for TDP in the MLC elections.
Now, a former minister and a once-firm supporter of Jagan, Balineni Srinivas has started to act against the party’s interests.
Balineni has resigned the Tirupati, Kadapa, and Nellore coordinator post.
Sensing distrust, Jagan called Balineni to meet him at the Tadepalli office.But Balineni bluntly sidelined the request and stayed back in Hyderabad for three days ignoring the YCP high command.
Finally Balineni met Jagan at Tadepalli on Tuesday and then reportedly went on to complain about the forces working against him in the Godavari districts.
Following the meeting, Balineni didn’t even speak with the media.
This more than clearly instated that he’s still not satisfied with what Jagan had to offer in the meeting.Else, he might’ve spoke with media and said all is well.
The former minister has earlier walked out of the chief minister’s recent visit to Markapur as the police stopped him from going to the helipad to receive Jagan Mohan Reddy.The angry Balineni left the venue after shouting at the police.
He is also not taking part in the party’s door-to-door campaign or any other progrmame.Though he was recently made the regional coordinator of the party for Nellore, Tirupati and Kadapa districts, the former minister had not visited any of these districts in the recent past.
This is not a good sign for YCP as it will indicate an anti-YCP a wave.
