HYDERABAD: As many as 28 MLAs and two MPs loyal to YS Jagan Mohan Reddy have decided to submit resignations from their respective parties and legislative bodies on Monday.Claiming themselves to be political heirs of former chief minister the late YS Rajasekhara Reddy, these leaders decided to resign to register their protest against the conspiracy hatched by the Congress against the late leader and for framing him as a criminal in the ongoing CBI probe into the alleged disproportionate assets case against his son and Kadapa MP, The MLAs - 25 of Congress, two of Telugu Desam and one of Praja Rajyam - will hand over their letters of resignation to the Assembly speaker at 11 am on Monday. YSR Congress party's lone Assembly member YS Vijayamma will decide on her resignation on the same day.Talking with reporters here on Sunday, former minister Pilli Subhash Chandra Bose alleged that the central government was resorting to acts of vengeance against their leader. Instead of covering the entire cabinet of the late YSR, the CBI was targeting only Jagan, he said and called upon all the MPs, MLAs and others who had won the elections because of the late YSR to join hands with them in their fight against the ruling party's conspiracy.According to YSR Congress governing council member Bhuma Nagi Reddy, the party leaders will go to the people to explain the ruling Congress' conspiracy to defame the late YSR and its plans to target their leader Jagan Mohan Reddy. The party had no intention of dethroning the Kiran Kumar Reddy government but wanted to register its protest against the plot against Jagan. Already, the CBI charge- sheeted the late YSR in the FIR, he said and added that the party's governing council would decide on the future programme. “In the present circumstances, even the speaker is not in a position either to accept or reject the resignations since 'everything' in the state is being controlled by the Centre and Congress president Sonia Gandhi. However, the MLAs will insist on the speaker to accept their resignations and may even resort to hunger strike to press their demand. "The MPs, MLAs and MLCs who met at the YSR Congress office today felt hurt by the Congress party's mudslinging against their leader late YS Rajasekhara Reddy and came to the opinion that it is the right time to quit the Congress and the positions. Even the ministers who are in the state cabinet should quit their posts if they have any respect for the late leader. Besides the 28 MLAs, five or six more are expected to resign. The decision to resign was taken without the knowledge of Jagan and all of us decided to meet him in Krishna district (where Jagan is on Odarpu Yatra) after submitting the resignations," Nagi Reddy added. The following MPs and MLAs will resign on Monday.
