If senior Congress MP Sai Pratap's revolt against the leadership for ordering him to launch attack against his close friend and former chief minister late YS Rajasekhar Reddy is any indication, he will soon bid adieu to his parent party and join the YSR Congress party floated by YS Jagan.
Sai Pratap, earlier, made it clear that he will not campaign for the party in the upcoming by-polls in his Rajampet Parliament constituency and also threatened to quit Congress if he was forced to abuse YSR. "I willn't hesitate to quit party or politics, If I was asked to attack YSR," said Sai Pratap, who is unhappy with some of the Congress leaders for branding YSR as 'anti-dalit'.
Congress party and cadre were worried with the stand of the MP, as this will surely affect the prospects of the party. Winning chances of Congress candidates was bleak as Sai Pratap belongs to the strong 'Balija' community in the constituency. On the other hand, Jagan has invited Sai Pratap to join his party and has been constantly in touch with him.
Sai Pratap was elected six times to Lok Sabha and also worked as Union Cabinet Minister in the past. His exit will be a big blow to the ruling Congress.
