Bharatiya Janata Party state president Kanna Lakshminarayana appears to be a fan of YSR Congress party president and new Andhra Pradesh chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy than his own party bosses in Delhi.
There was a talk that the BJP national leadership was planning to drop Kanna form the state party chief post, as he had miserably failed to secure a respectable vote share in the recent elections in the state.
There were also complaints from the local BJP leaders that Kanna was acting more like a YSRC leader than the BJP chief.
For the last two days, Kanna has been heaping praises on Jagan and his leadership.
“The people who had suffered a lot during the Chandrababu Naidu regime are feeling relieved now. I am convinced that Jagan is giving an excellent leadership to the state,” he said, in a chat with a news channel.
Kanna also wrote at least seven letters to Jagan, requesting him to undo the decisions taken by the TDP government in the last.
He wanted an inquiry into the irregularities in the construction of the capital city and purchase of assigned lands. He also requested that the government change the free sand policy.
Kanna urged Jagan to re-construct Hindu temples which were removed during Krishna Pushkaralu in Vijayawada and demanded CBI inquiry in Agri Gold case.
