As the ruling party decided to malign the image of late CM YS Rajasekhara Reddy to fewer the chances of Jagan, YSR Congress is countering them. An YSR party worker stated that Congress should blame Sonia Gandhi as she is the one who gives a nod for Welfare Schemes to be implemented but not YSR. However, Jagan's followers like former MLA K Srinivasaulu are busy in praising YSR for his pro-Dalit schemes. TDP leaders are saying that both Congress and YSR Congress are maintaining double standards in using the name of YSR, who anyways is corrupt and will be proved by CBI very soon.
'Sonia is bad and YSR is good, is the by-poll strategy of Jagan, as Congress cannot decide their stand on using YSR's name', say analysts. Already, Congress started implementing various new schemes and benefits for poor to lure them from falling in the nets of Jagan. YSR party also started accusing that Sonia is responsible for turmoil in the state due to her double edged ways on T-issue. A third party like Telugudesam will benefit in this tug of war as Naidu started slaughtering both Congress and Jagan's image.
