Hyderabad, Sep 4th: Within hours of the death of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy in a helicopter crash, the state cabinet passed a resolution urging the Congress party's central leadership to make his son Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy the next chief minister. The cabinet meeting, presided over by caretaker Chief Minister K. Rosaiah, passed the resolution demanding that Kadapa MP Jaganmohan Reddy be named successor to his father.
Ministers loyal to Rajasekhara Reddy were unanimous that the young MP should be made the next chief minister. This will be a real tribute to YSR, said minister of health D. Nagender. The resolution was passed amid reports that over 100 legislators of the ruling party are supporting the demand. The legislators also met Union Minister for law and in charge of party affairs in the state M. Veerappa Moily to submit a memorandum. Some Congress legislators also met Praja Rajyam Party president K. Chiranjeevi to request him to support Jaganmohan Reddy's candidature. The Congress party has 155 members in the 294-member assembly.
A group of MPs also held a meeting here and decided to place their demand before Congress president Sonia Gandhi. According to sources in the ruling party, the legislators have launched a campaign to demand that Jaganmohan be appointed the chief minister. Jaganmohan, an industrialist who runs the Sakshi daily and a television channel, was elected from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency in the April-May elections.
