Family Feud Over Election Ticket Rocks YCP
In Andhra Pradesh politics, a heated family clash is making headlines. Jogi Ramesh, a fiery YCP leader and former minister, is reportedly fighting with his son, Rajiv, over who gets the party’s ticket for the upcoming elections. This father-son drama has everyone talking, especially in the Mylavaram constituency.
Who is Jogi Ramesh?
Jogi Ramesh is a well-known figure in the YSR Congress Party. He won the Pedana seat in the 2019 elections but lost when he later contested from Mylavaram. Right now, he’s dealing with several legal cases, including ones about fake liquor and land disputes, but he’s out on bail and focused on the next vote.
Political Track Record
His win in Pedana showed his strength, but the loss in Mylavaram was a setback. Despite legal troubles, he’s pushing hard to return to power, claiming voters are rallying behind him this time.
The Ticket Tussle Heats Up
Sources say Jogi Ramesh wants to run from Mylavaram again. But his son, Rajiv, also wants a shot at politics. In the last election, Jogi asked party chief Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy to let Rajiv contest, but Jagan said no. Now, rumors fly that the party might stick to a “one ticket per family” rule—but will that apply only to Jogi or to others too?
Rajiv’s Bold Move
Rajiv is reportedly telling party leaders that if only one ticket is up for grabs in their area, it must be his. He’s so confident he predicts a sure win. Meanwhile, Jogi is said to be insisting he’ll contest himself, causing a stir inside the party.
Is This a Smart Strategy?
Some insiders whisper that this family fight might be planned.
