Some reports appeared in the media stating that Jagan Mohan Reddy is trying to rope-in former Congress MP Vundavalli Arun Kumar into his YSR Congress party. He turned blind eye on him, when launched his party because then many leaders from all political parties have queued up to join his party. But, now the situation is very different. All those joined earlier are again leaving the party due ill treatment by Jagan Mohan Reddy. BJP is also concentrating its focus on the Congress and YSR Congress party to strengthen itself in the AP state.

So, he is reportedly trying to rope-in Vundavalli into his party, who has excellent communication skills and contacts with all senior leaders of Congress party. Vundavalli alleges that NDA government has cheated the AP State by taking ‘U’ turn on according special status to the state and he gets a fitting reply from the BJP senior leader Somu Veeraju for it. Vundavalli’s remarks are underlining a point that he is not going to join BJP or it’s alliance partner TDP.

So, whether he will join the YSRCP or not, his remarks made against NDA government hints that there is scope for his joining. Since, the Congress party future in the state is hanging in the air, no surprise if he accepts Jagan Mohan Reddy’s invitation into his party. If, he joins YSRCP, he may expect Jagan treat him as god father, because of the close relations he had with his father late YS Rajashekar Reddy. However, any such decision may be proved politically suicidal for him, because many leaders, who joined the YSRCP were forced to quit the party in an unceremonious way, because of ill treatment given by Jagan Mohan Reddy.
