Yuvajana Sramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) General Secretary V Vijayasai Reddy made headlines on Friday, January 24, when he announced his resignation as the Rajya Sabha MP and his decision to quit politics the following day.

No one influenced me.” Expressing his firm stance on the matter, he declared, “I am quitting politics. I am resigning from the Rajya Sabha membership tomorrow, January 25th.

Gratitude Towards PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah
Despite stepping away from the political arena, Vijayasai Reddy took the opportunity to express his gratitude towards Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah for their support and recognition throughout his nearly decade-long political journey.

This deep-rooted connection and loyalty were evident in his heartfelt acknowledgment of the familial bond that had sustained him throughout his political career.
End of an Era in Andhra Pradesh Politics
Vijayasai Reddy’s decision to resign as a Rajya Sabha MP and withdraw from politics marks a significant moment in Andhra Pradesh’s political landscape.
