What is Jagan Mohan Reddy's next move?

YSR Congress party president Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy is all set to intensify the ongoing movement in Seemandhra against  the proposed bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh.

With a clear stand in support of  'samaikyandhra', or united Andhra, Jagan is likely to seize the initiative and emerge as a frontrunner in Seemandhra, as Rayalaseema and coastal Andhra regions are together known.
As the court, while granting bail, has directed Jagan not to leave Hyderabad without permission, Jagan has filed a petition seeking its nod to visit Kadapa and Guntur districts in the first week of October.
Jagan, whose return has already boosted the morale of the party cadre, is expected to go all out to use his first public appearance after a long time to strengthen the party in Seemandhra.
Jagan's release and his decision to plunge into the  'Samaikyandhra' agitation have already sent the alarm bells ringing in both Congress and Telugu Desam Party (TDP) camps. Already feeling the heat of the ongoing protests, the leaders from the Congress and the TDP, including MPs and state legislators, may switch loyalties to the YSR Congress.
About a dozen legislators of the ruling and the main opposition parties had joined the YSR Congress even when Jagan was in jail. They know that a free Jagan may be more dangerous for them.
The YSR Congress hopes many fence-sitters may take a plunge once Jagan hits the roads in Seemandhra, where government employees, students and other sections of people have been continuing their protests for nearly two months.
"YSR Congress is the only party in the state which has not only taken a clear stand against the decision to divide the state but is joining the people in the fight to keep the state united," said party leader Shobha Nagi Reddy.
She claimed that unlike the Congress and the TDP, who are playing gimmicks over the issue, the YSR Congress has shown its sincerity. Shoba pointed out that both MPs of the party and all 17 state legislators have not only submitted their resignations but are also pressing for their acceptance.
The YSR Congress is accusing its rivals of playing a double game on the issue to fool the people of Seemandhra. Its leaders point out that the TDP sent a letter to the centre declaring its support to the demand for Telangana state and this paved the way for the decision to divide the state.
