Explanation:
Yeduguri Sandinti Jaganmohan Reddy (born 21 December 1972), is an Indian politician who is the 17th and current Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh. He is the leader of YSR Congress Party, and was Leader of opposition in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly from 16 May 2014 until 29 May 2019.[1] He is the son of the former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy. He started his political career by campaigning for Indian National Congress in 2004 elections in Kadapa District, and in the 2009 elections he was elected as Member of Parliament from Kadapa constituency as a member of the Indian National Congress.
Personal life
Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy was born into a Christian Political-Business family on 21 December 1972 in Kadapa district of Andhra Pradesh to Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy and Y. S. Vijayamma. He went to The Hyderabad Public School, upto 12th grade. He graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He married Bharathi Reddy on 28 August 1996, the couple has two daughters.[2][3]
Reddy is a Christian much like his father (Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy), his grandfather[4] (Y. S. Raja Reddy) and his great-grandfather (S. Venkata Reddy) and is a communicant[5] member of the Church of South India (Diocese of Rayalaseema) and attends the Church of South India-Town Church,[6] Pulivendula.[7] He has a younger sister, Y. S. Sharmila, who is also a politician.[8]
Political career
Jaganmohan Reddy's father YS Rajasekhara Reddy popularly known as YSR, was a two-time Chief Minister of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh, serving from 2004 to 2009.
Jaganmohan started his political career campaigning for Indian National Congress during the 2004 elections in Kadapa District.[9]
In 2009, Jaganmohan was elected as Member of Parliament from Kadapa constituency.[9]
Post YSR's death
Following the death of his father in Sep 2009, Jaganmohan started his earnest efforts to take up the political legacy left by his father.
Following YSR's death, the majority of the legislators favored Jaganmohan to be appointed as the Chief Minister. Sonia Gandhi, party chief of the Indian National Congress and her son Rahul Gandhi, party general secretary did not agree to this.
Six months after his father's death, he began an odarpu yatra (condolence tour) as promised earlier to go and meet the families of those alleged to have either committed suicide or suffered ill health on the news of his father's death. The Congress party's central leadership directed him to call off his odarpu yatra, an order which he defied leading to a fallout between the high command and himself. He went ahead with the yatra, stating that it was a personal matter.[10]
Founding YSR Congress
On 29 November 2010, he resigned, after a fallout with the Congress party high command.[11] He announced on 7 December 2010 from Pulivendula that he would be starting a new party within 45 days. In March 2011, he announced his party name at Jagganapeta of East Godavari district.[12] Later, his party went to by polls in YSR Kadapa district and won almost all the seats with a huge majority.[13]
2011 by-election success
Jagan, as the president of YSR Congress, faced by-election from the Kadapa constituency and won by a large margin of 545,043 votes.[14]
