The squabbles in the ruling YSR Congress in Mylavaram Assembly constituency of the NTR district have finally come to the attention of party president and chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy.
The chief minister had summoned sitting MLA Vasantha Venkata Krishna Prasad and secured his version of the story on Thursday.
The chief minister is understood to have realized the role of Minister for Housing Jogi Ramesh, who is creating problems in the constituency.
Jogi Ramesh comes from the Mylavaram constituency in NTR district but represents the Pedana constituency in Krishna district.
He had set his eyes on the Mylavaram constituency for the next election, which led to trouble in the constituency.
Jogi Ramesh’s interference had cost dearly for the party as the party lost the Kondapalli Municipal elections.
After becoming a minister, Jogi Ramesh started encouraging his men to go against the sitting MLA Krishna Prasad, leading to greater troubles in the party.
The MLA withdrew his Gadapa Gadapaku programme in protest against the Minister’s intervention.
At one point of time, the MLA wanted to quit the party, but stopped as the chief minister sent a word asking him to meet.
After the meeting, the MLA was appeared relaxed, which indicates that the chief minister had warned the Minister against interfering with the party activities in Mylavaram.
It is to be seen if Jogi Ramesh would stop his interference and let the MLA do his work or continue to disturb the party.
