Will Jagan Mohan Reddy Join INDIA Bloc? Akhilesh Yadav, Sanjay Raut Attend YSRCP Protest In Delhi

Former Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy is staging a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar against the Andhra Pradesh government. He has accused the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) of acting out of political vengeance. Reddy claimed that the government led by Chandrababu Naidu has incited violence in the state and targeted YSRCP workers.

The protest has garnered political support, with opposition parties rallying behind Reddy. The INDIA alliance has also shown its support, with Shiv Sena (Thackeray faction) MP Sanjay Raut and MP Akhilesh Yadav meeting Reddy to express their solidarity. This has sparked speculation about Reddy potentially aligning with the INDIA alliance.
