In a surprising move that has caught the attention of political observers, Vijayasai Reddy, a prominent figure in the YSR Congress and considered the party's No. 2, extended heartfelt birthday wishes to TDP MP Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy. Reddy's message read, “Warm birthday greetings to Shri Magunta Sreenivasulu Reddy Garu, Senior parliamentarian & Lok Sabha MP from Ongole, Andhra Pradesh. Wishing you good health, happiness, and continued success.”

This gesture has sparked intrigue and speculation on social media, especially given the contentious history between the two politicians. Magunta, who was formerly a member of the YSR Congress, left the party under strained circumstances. Rumors suggested that Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy was uninterested in retaining him, as he was denied an MP ticket for the 2024 elections. Subsequently, Magunta joined the TDP, where he won the Ongole seat again in 2024.

The situation is further complicated by a viral video from parliament in which Magunta attempted to greet Jagan with folded hands, only for the then-CM to walk away dismissively. Given this backdrop of rivalry and the perceived animosity between Magunta and Jagan, Vijayasai Reddy's tweet has left many puzzled and questioning its sincerity.

Political analysts suggest that this unexpected gesture could indicate a shift in dynamics within Andhra Pradesh's political landscape, raising questions about potential reconciliations or strategic alliances. The public's reactions on social media reflect a mix of surprise, skepticism, and curiosity about what this could mean for the future of both the YSR Congress and TDP.
