The YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), once a dominant force in Andhra Pradesh with 151 assembly seats and 22 MPs, is now facing an existential crisis. The party's dramatic loss in the 2024 elections, which saw its tally fall to just 11 MLAs and 4 MPs, has led to a wave of defections and internal strife. Many senior leaders, who had been staunch allies of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, are now leaving the party in frustration.

Among the significant exits is Alla Nani, Mopidevi Venkataramana, and Beeda Masthan Rao, who have been long-time supporters of Jagan. Adding to the party's woes, former Minister Balineni Srinivas Reddy, a prominent five-time MLA from Ongole, is reportedly preparing to resign from YSRCP. Srinivas Reddy has been vocal about his discontent with the party's internal affairs and his perceived neglect after the recent electoral defeat.

Political circles are abuzz with speculation that Balineni Srinivas Reddy will soon announce his departure from YSRCP and may join the Janasena party. He has been seen rallying his close followers in anticipation of this move and is expected to be offered a significant role in the NDA government by Pawan Kalyan, leader of Janasena.

Additionally, Balineni has been challenging the Election Commission of India over alleged election discrepancies, a battle that has seen little support from YSRCP's leadership. His dissatisfaction with Jagan Mohan Reddy’s handling of the situation has contributed to his decision to leave the party.

The political landscape in Andhra Pradesh is shifting rapidly, and the full implications of Balineni’s potential resignation will become clearer once he addresses the media. The future of YSRCP and its ability to rebound from this crisis remains uncertain.
