Jagan Reddy's Ex-Loyalist Launches New Party In Andhra Pradesh

What's behind this

Former YSRCP leader V Vijaya Sai Reddy, a Rajya Sabha member elected in 2016 and re‑elected in 2023, quit the party in 2025 after announcing a brief retirement in January 2025. He has now launched the Parivartana Rajaneethi Party (PRP) in Andhra Pradesh, unveiling a flag featuring a Dharma symbol. Reddy said the party will contest all 175 Assembly seats, targeting the 2029 elections, and pledged to end “two‑family” politics while mentoring young leaders in the style of Bal Thackeray and Kanshi Ram. He also criticised Chief Minister Jagan Reddy’s “arrogance”.
