Jagan Needs Mahesh, Not Naresh

YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is said to be not very much enthusiastic about the joining of yesteryear’s superstar Krishna and his actress-director wife Vijaya Nirmala, along with her son Naresh in his party.
Though Jagan welcomed them into the party, he is not very jubilant with their entry as they would anyway not add any strength to the party.
However, Jagan has other ideas. According to YSR Congress party sources, Jagan is of the view that if Krishna and Vijayanirmala join his party, their younger son Mahesh Babu would also follow suit very soon.
All said and done, Mahesh Babu has a lot of fan following and if he joins YSR Congress, it would fetch a lot of attraction to the party.
Even if Mahesh Babu is not willing to enter politics at this stage, he can at least extend support to him and campaign for the party in the elections, whenever they are held.
In fact, before 2009 elections, Jagan’s father late Y S Rajasekhara Reddy had personally requested Mahesh Babu to canvass for the Congress, at least for a few days in sensitive constituencies, so that it would cheer up the Congress workers and improve the Congress chances of winning. Somehow, Mahesh Babu could not make it due to work pressure.
