Is it the end of gospel preaching for Jagan’s brother-in-law Bro Anil Kumar? The political observers are beginning to ask this question as Bro. Anil Kumar is busy these days holding a slew of meetings with clear political intent. First, he met former MP and YSR acolyte Vundavalli Arun Kumar. Then, he has begun holding meetings of the BC leaders
On Monday, he held meetings with leaders from the BC communities in both Rajahmundry and Vijayawada. The meetings mainly discussed the political situation in the state and the BC leaders present at the meeting ‘urged’ Bro Anil Kumar to form a political party to fight the elections.
Interestingly, the participants said that they had voted for YS Jagan only at the insistence of Bro. Anil. They said that after he had won, YS Jagan did not even give them an appointment let alone give some nominated posts. They said that the BC interests were compromised by YS Jagan Mohan Reddy. They wanted Bro Anil Kumar to form a new political party.
At the end of the two-hour long meeting, Bro Anil, however, said that he has no political interests and that he was not going to form a new political party. But, those who attended the meeting revealed that the focus was on forming a new political party so as to contest the elections in 2024. Bro Anil’s series of meetings is likely to continue across the state, they said.
Brother Anil has kept a low profile even when his wife Sharmila launched the YSRTP in Telangana and undertook a padayatra. He remained behind the screens focusing on the evangelical work. But, now it appears that he is preparing ground for Sharmila to enter into AP politics.
