YSR Congress party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy is said to be aiming big in the next assembly elections.
According to party sources, Jagan has drawn a comprehensive strategy for the next elections. His objective is not just coming to power at any cost, but to get not less than 200 assembly seats.
“Jagan will not accept power if he has to take support from other parties in forming the government in the event of his party getting less than the absolute majority of 148 seats. He will also be not happy if his party wins just 150-160 seats. In fact, he would not like to become the CM with such a simple majority. He will take up the assignment only if the YSR Party gets nothing short of 200 seats. And he is making efforts in that direction,” party sources said.
However, it is easier said than done. The YSR Congress party has to struggle a lot to get 200 seats in the assembly. If Jagan is confident to get the number, he is only underestimating his political rivals – particularly, the Telugu Desam Party and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi. Unless he conquers a major part of Telangana, it would be difficult to think of reaching the 200 figure mark.
