HYDERABAD: In a day of swift developments in the Jagan camp, the son of YSR was elected the president of YSR Congress, a party that was till Monday registered under the name of K Shiva Kumar, and the Election Commission of India was informed of the same.
Y S Jaganmohan Reddy will launch his YSR Congress party from Idupulapaya in Kadapa district on March 7, sources close to him, said.
Jagan acquired the YSR Congress party from Shiva Kumar, an advocate from Telangana and a fan of YS Rajasekhara Reddy. Kumar floated the party in 2009 soon after the death of YSR and initiated the process of getting it registered with the Election Commission. The EC finally accorded registration of the party 'YSR Congress' to Shiva Kumar on February 1, this year. The Jagan camp initiated talks late last year with Kumar, who was the declared president of the party, but did not proceed further as the latter insisted on a key role in the affairs of the party if Jagan wants to head it.
