The brutal murder of YSR’s brother and YS Jagan’s own Babayi and former Kadapa MP YS Vivekananda Reddy ahead of 2019 polls has become sensational. The murder had created war of words between then ruling TDP and then Opposition YSR Congress Party. It had taken a political turn with both the parties leveling serious allegations against one another.

While Viveka’s murder is still a mystery and unsolved, CM Jagan Mohan Reddy is going to inaugurate Viveka’s statue in Kadapa road near YS Viveka’s house. The statue inauguration will take place on August 8 i.e on his birth anniversary. YS Viveka’s wife Sowbhagya, daughter Suneetha, YS Jagan’s mother YS Vijayammma, sister YS Sharmila and entire YS family is likely to attend the do and thus want to send a strong signal to the people of Kadapa that YS family is one and united.

After Jagan had parted ways with Congress and floated his own political party YCP, YS Viveka had differed with him and remained in Congress. This hasn’t gone down well within YS family as it led to political differences between Babayi Viveka and Abbayi Jagan. Viveka had unsuccessfully contested against Vijayamma and lost to her in 2011 by-election.

In fact, it is believed that differences between the duo popped up when YSR was alive and was CM. YSR was forced to convince his brother and then MP Viveka to step aside for Jagan who subsequently became Kadapa MP. Viveka had then sacrificed his MP post to Jagan and the former was politically ignored. Since then there were reports that terms were not well between the duo. However, Viveka had later took Jagan’s side and joined YCP. But Viveka was said to had got least preference in the party.

In this backdrop, YS Jagan’s visit to Kadapa to visit Babayi’s statue gained a lot of significance in Kadapa politics.
