While majority of Seemandhra Congress leaders are eager to jump out of the party, former minister M.Mareppa regrets for leaving the party and joining YSR Congress party. He also stated that his DNA is Congress DNA.

“Former CM late YS Rajashekar Reddy has won the hearts of the people with his welfare schemes. But, his son Jagan Mohan Reddy is tarnishing his image with his greedy attitude. He is very much hungry for the power. That is why, he collected signatures of Congress MLAs even before performing the funeral ceremony of his father. He can’t claim his father welfare schemes and its credit to his party as his party is no way connected with them. Entire credit goes to Congress party only. If, YCP dislikes my remarks, I am ready to leave the party.”

Hence, it is only a matter of time to see Mareppa back into Congress fold. Perhaps, he might have realized that he can't expect the same level of liberty of speech that he enjoyed in Congress before jumping into YSR Congress party. However, his timing to return to Congress fold looks quite peculiar in context of anti-congress-wave sweeping in Seemandhra.
