Former YSR Congress Party MP V. Vijaya Sai Reddy, a previous close supporter of YS Jaganmohan Reddy, launched fresh attacks on the former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister on Tuesday (29 September 2026). Speaking in Visakhapatnam, Sai Reddy alleged he was 'used until the party came to power and sidelined within three months'. m9.news reports Sai Reddy claims Jagan is considering an alliance with the INDIA bloc for the 2029 elections, though the outlet notes this remains unconfirmed.
Sai Reddy criticised the YSRCP's changing position on Visakhapatnam as state capital and questioned whether the party can win the forthcoming Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation elections. He denied involvement in the alleged liquor scam, blaming Raj Kasireddy. Sai Reddy said he will announce a new party name soon and undertake a padayatra across Andhra Pradesh, arguing the state needs a 'third alternative' to the YSRCP and TDP, which he called 'family-centric political organisations'.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The two sources report Vijaya Sai Reddy's attacks on Jaganmohan Reddy from different angles. m9.news focuses on Reddy's claim that Jagan is considering an alliance with the INDIA bloc for 2029, framing the story around unconfirmed speculation. greatandhra.com leads with Reddy's allegation that Jagan's 'love for people is fake' and includes specific criticism about Visakhapatnam's capital promise and the liquor scam. Both report his plan to launch a new party, but m9.news emphasises community representation and Rayalaseema development, while greatandhra.com highlights the GVMC elections and land allocation to GITAM. The differences reflect m9.news's sensationalist framing, prioritising an unverified alliance claim, against greatandhra.com's fuller, more neutral reporting of multiple criticisms. Readers should weigh greatandhra.com's broader factual coverage over m9.news's speculative lead. The story's next step is Reddy's planned announcement of his new party's name and subsequent padayatra.
