The voices of dissent is not only growing louder in the YSRCP in Vizianagaram district over the possible entry of former PCC boss Botsa Satyanarayana into Jagan’s party soon, but sources say that his entry may be proving costly to Jagan with reports that Bobbili rajas have warned to snap ties with the party.
They are all set to join BJP or TDP, both of whom are reportedly wooing them ardently. There are speculations in north coastal Andhra that the ardent followers of Bobbili rajas namely Bobbili MLA Sujay Krishna Ranga Rao as well as his brother Baby Nayana, who had lost therecent Lok Sabha election against Ashok Gajapati Raju includingsenior leader Penmetsa are pressurizing leaders in informing theirdissent to Jagan.
Sources say that while Botsa enjoys support from the East and West Godavari leaders of YSRCP, opposition to his entry is only becoming stronger due to the anti—Botsa groups in Srikakulam and Vizag districtas well which are joining hands.
The Bobbili brothers had to quit Congress due to severe harassmentfrom Botsa, who seems to have created many hurdles in terms of development works at their strong hold constituencies and hence they joined Jagan. But now with news that bête noire is joining Jagan, the cadre and leaders have given an ultimatum to Jagan.
