Reasons behind Alla Ramakrishna Reddy’s quit from YSRCP
Alla Ramakrishna Reddy stated that he is a devoted follower of the late YS Rajashekhar Reddy and expressed his desire to continue his loyalty to the YSR family. He declared his willingness to align with YS Sharmila, stating that his decisions align with her plans. He emphasised that if YS Sharmila joins Congress, he will join her. As of now, he is not associated with any party and has no thoughts of returning to the YSRCP. He alleged that Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy did not allocate funds for the development of his constituency, Mangalagiri. Despite several appeals to the government, only Rs. 120 crores were allocated instead of the requested Rs. 1200 crores, he alleged. Even these Rs. 120 crores have not been released, and Alla added that he spent his own money, up to Rs. 10 crores, for development works.

వైఎస్ జగన్ మోహన్ రెడ్డి ఉత్తర్వులు ఇచ్చారు. పార్టీని మరింత బలోపేతం చేసుకుని, ఎన్నికలకు శ్రేణులను నడిపించే సమర్థత ఉన్నవారిని ఇంచార్జులుగా నియమిస్తున్నామన్నారు. pic.twitter.com/6fHPp7cg3Y
Alla stated that, like Jagan Mohan Reddy’s desire for a second term as chief minister, he also aspires to serve as an MLA for another term. However, he expressed dissatisfaction as the government did not cooperate with him in carrying out work in his constituency. He reminded us that the people of Mangalagiri voted for YSRCP with the expectation of development in the constituency. When the government neglected these expectations, Alla questioned the difference between the TDP and the YSRCP.
Mangalagiri Seat for BC candidate
Alla Ramakrishna Reddy, the first MLA, officially resigned from the YSRCP ahead of the elections. Alla Ramakrishna Reddy won from Mangalagiri for two terms in 2014 and 2019. The first time, he secured a narrow majority of 12 votes, and the second time, the majority was over 5000 against the TDP candidate Nara Lokesh. Alla is discontented that despite defeating a prominent TDP figure, Jagan is not showing him the expected consideration.
Alla left the party on the same day Jagan appointed Ganji Chiranjeevi as the Mangalagiri assembly segment in-charge. Ganji Chiranjeevi had defected from TDP to YSRCP in 2022. Mangalagiri is a significant seat for BCs, and the majority of MLAs who have won from 1989 to 2009 from this seat belong to the Padmashali community. There is a likelihood that YSRCP might offer the ticket to a BC leader this time, with Ganji Chiranjeevi from the Padmashali community being a probable contender. TDP is criticising YSRCP, suggesting that they are choosing a BC candidate for the ticket in anticipation of defeat.
