Hyderabad: In a setback to YSR Congress Party, Rajya Sabha MP Vijayasai Reddy, also the National General Secretary of the party, decided to quit politics on Friday and take up “farming”.
The YSRC leader who is a close confidant of party president Y S Jaganmohan Reddy, said he will tender his resignation as Rajya Sabha MP on Saturday and will not join any other political party. Announcing this on X, he said: “I am quitting politics. I am resigning from the Rajya Sabha membership tomorrow, the 25th. I will not join any political party. I will not resign in the hope of another position, benefits, or money. This decision is completely my personal one. There was no pressure. No one influenced me. I am indebted to the YS family, who have believed in and supported me for four decades and three generations. I am forever grateful to Jagan garu for giving me the opportunity to be a Rajya Sabha member twice, and to Bharatamma garu for taking me to such a high level. I wish Jagan garu all the best
Considered the right hand man of Jagan, he said that he had only political but not personal differences with TDP chief and AP Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu and good friendship with Jana Sena Chief and AP Deputy Chief Minister Pawan Kalyan.
“I express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of my State, friends, colleagues, and party workers, each and every one of them, by name, for supporting me throughout my long political journey,” he said adding that his ‘future is agriculture’
