In a significant development, YSR Congress president YS Jagan Mohan Reddy called upon cine-actor and former Rajya Sabha MP Mohan Babu at latter’s residence at Jubilee Hills here on Sunday.
Jagan was accompanied with his wife Bharathi. Although Jagan avoided media, talking to reporters later, Mohan Babu said that the visit was related to family relations. It may be mentioned that Jagan’s cousin sister Viranaca was married to Mohan Babu’s elder son Manchu Vishnu and the couple was recently blessed with twins.
Mohan Babu clarified that Jagan’s visit was not political in nature. However, he said he would disclose the details of what transpired during the meeting at an appropriate time.
It may be recalled that Mohan Babu had recently made an announcement of his comeback into active politics. Since Chiranjeevi is in Congress party, he is not likely to sail with the ruling party. Similarly, he has strained relations with Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu. Therefore, it is being speculated that he might support the YSR Congress party. However, the possibility of Mohan Babu joining YSR Congress party looks remote as he might not work under the leadership of Jagan due to generation gap.
However, Jagan’s visit to Mohan Babu before the by-elections is likely to gain more significance. (INN)
