Guwahati: Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy, the chief minister of Andhra Pradesh has been elected the “president for lifetime” of Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP).
The decision was made on the last day of the YSRCP’s two-day plenary following a change to the party’s constitution on Saturday.
Mother of YS Jagan Mohan Reddy, YS Vijayamma stated that she is considering resigning from her position as honorary president of YSRCP in order to assist her daughter YS Sharmila in Telangana.
Jagan Mohan Reddy founded the YSRCP in March 2011 after parting connections with the Congress. He has held the position of party president while his mother Vijayamma has served as honorary president.
The YSRCP will now ask the Election Commission of India (ECI) to modify its constitution in order to accommodate Reddy’s election as the YSRCP president for the rest of his life.
