Vijayasai Reddy Announces New Regional Party to Challenge Andhra Pradesh's Major Parties
Former Rajya Sabha member V. Vijayasai Reddy announced plans to launch a new regional political party in Andhra Pradesh after Vijaya Dasami. The party aims to offer a 'viable alternative' to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), and Jana Sena Party by focusing on curbing corruption, youth empowerment, and addressing economic challenges. Vijayasai Reddy stated neither he nor his family would seek the Chief Minister post in 2029, intending to serve as a mentor. The party's manifesto will emphasize reducing living costs and promoting development.
