YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, who was supposed to perform house warming ceremony of his newly-built house at Tadepalli in Guntur district on February 14, postponed the ceremony on the grounds that his sister Sharmila and brother-in-law Anil Kumar were suffering from fever.
The reason for postponement of the ceremony sounded unconvincing, as people wondered how both wife and husband could get fever at a time.
However, enquiries revealed that Sharmila and Anil were suffering from Swine Flu, which has affected many people in the state due to change of weather.
Both of them were apparently hospitalised and hence, as a matter of precaution, Jagan postponed the house warming ceremony. According to latest reports, the ceremony will now be held on February 27.
In any case, Jagan would not be able to shift into his new residence immediately, as a lot of interior work is still going on and it will take another four or five weeks to complete it.
It is only for the sake of auspicious muhurtam, he wanted to perform the house warming ceremony.
By the time the residence-cum-official complex is completed, the YSRC chief would be already on roads doing hectic election campaign because the election schedule is going to be announced shortly.
So, it is only after the election process is completed, Jagan will be able to shift permanently to Amaravati.
And if he gets elected as the chief minister, he may be looking for an official residence!
