Jagan clears names of Rajya Sabha nominees
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 17 2022]
Andhra Pradesh chief minister YS Jaganmohan Reddy has cleared four nominations from Andhra Pradesh to the Rajya Sabha, the Upper House of the Indian Parliament.
V Vijayasai Reddy will be given re-nomination. This one is on expected lines and the media has been saying it all along.
Industrialist Beeda Masthan Rao has been nominated. S Niranjan Reddy will also be nominated because he knows the law. He is better known as a film producer. He bankrolled Chiranjeevi's 'Acharya' recently.
R Krishnaiah, who is a leader of the backward castes, has also received a go-ahead for the nomination.
There were incessant rumours that industrialist and billionaire Gautam Adani will enter the Rajya Sabha on a YCP nomination. The same was refuted by Adani himself.
The media has been speculating non-stop about the RS nominations. Since YCP enjoys unprecedented political and numerical dominance in Andhra Pradesh, Jagan's nominations at a time of fiscal indiscipline and declining popularity have acquired significance.
