The festive season in Pulivendula began with much anticipation as YSR Congress chief YS Jagan Mohan Reddy embarked on his four-day visit to Kadapa. A key moment of his visit was his trip to YS Ghat in Idupulapaya, where he paid his respects at the YSR memorial, adding a significant touch to the pre-Christmas celebrations in the region.
A standout event during Jagan’s visit was his unexpected public encounter with his mother, YS Vijayamma. This meeting holds added significance as it marked the first time the two appeared together in public since their well-documented property dispute.
The interaction between Jagan and Vijayamma was brief and understated. A video clip circulating on social media shows Jagan briefly acknowledging his mother before walking away without further conversation, which piqued the interest of many.
The public dispute began when Jagan requested the return of the Saraswati Power assets, which were initially handed over to Vijayamma and subsequently transferred to his sister, Sharmila. This triggered a highly emotional and public feud between the siblings, with Sharmila visibly upset and in tears during a media appearance.
In an open letter addressing the matter, Vijayamma expressed her deep sorrow over the situation. She spoke about the difficulty of choosing between Jagan and Sharmila, referring to them as “two eyes” to her, and emphasized her wish for an equitable resolution of the family assets.
Today’s brief interaction between Jagan and Vijayamma has brought the ongoing family tension back into the spotlight, leaving many to speculate on the future dynamics of the influential YSR family.
