Speaking to the Andhra Pradesh Congress leaders, Rahul Gandhi said, “YS Jagan Mohan Reddy is not YS Rajasekhar Reddy who constantly thought about the welfare of the poor and came up with welfare schemes using Congress ideology.
YS Jagan is a selfish person concerned about his own interests. Do not look upon YSR and Jagan as the same.
The majority of leaders in YSRCP are those who moved away from Congress out of love towards YSR.
You should make all efforts to wean them back to the Congress and make the party strong in Andhra Pradesh once again.
I am well aware of the political developments in Andhra Pradesh and the Congressmen should go all out to attack Jagan politically.”
Irrespective of what Rahul Gandhi says, there is no question about the fact that people of the State feel that Jagan in due course of time will become an even bigger leader than his father.
YS Jagan is a man with commitment. Had he been a selfish person, he need not have defied Sonia Gandhi and her son and gone to jail for 16 months for that unlike Chandrababu Naidu who ran to Delhi and fell at the feet of Chidambaram to prevent cases being foisted against him.
If Rahul Gandhi, as he says, really understands AP and its people, they would not have divided the State against the wishes of the people. But the State was divided for the sole purpose of making Rahul Gandhi, the Prime Minister.
Can there be a bigger act of selfishness than this by the Congress party? Apart from the advantage accruing to him as son of Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi is no match at all either to the charisma, integrity or hard-working nature of YS Jagan.
