Big blow to Jagan Reddy as 2 YSRCP MPs quit Rajya Sabha; likely to join Naidu’s TDP

Two YSRCP Rajya Sabha MPs, Beedha Mastan Rao Jadhav and Venkataramana Rao Mopidevi, resigned, weakening Jaggan Mohan Reddy’s party. Their resignations may lead them to join TDP. Mopidevi, upset over being denied an assembly ticket, confirmed his intent to quit before resigning. TDP may secure all by-election seats unopposed. Jagdeep Dhankhar has accepted their resignation, the sources said.
