One person who must have keenly watched Mega Star Chiru meet AP CM YS Jagan is actor and Jagan’s close relative M Mohan Babu. Mohan Babu, who is angling for a Rajya Sabha stint with the help of the YSRCP, is said to have been alarmed at the prospect of Chiru becoming a Rajya Sabha MP, is said to have expressed his displeasure through his sources to the YSRCP bosses
The term of four Rajya Sabha MPs from AP is ending in June 21 While one of them, Vijaysai Reddy, is sure to get re-nominated, the other three are from the TDP and have no hopes of getting renominated. There is intense competition for these three vacancies and when Chiru met Jagan, the rumour mill went into a tizzy that he would be given a Rajya Sabha seat.
But what about Mohan Babu, who has campaigned for the YSRCP in 2019 elections? Mohan Babu expected a Rajya Sabha seat, where there were 4 vacancies in 2020. However, they were filled by former ministers Pilli Saubhas Chandra, Mopidevi Venkata Ramana, Ayodhya Rami Reddy and Reliance nominee Parimal Nathwani Mohan Babu had to remain empty handed
Sources say Mohan Babu is lobbying hard this time. He was reportedly not happy when Jagan met Chiru instead of either he or his son Manchu Vishnu, who is the president of MAA. Interestingly, Mohan Babu did not meet Jagan after he became the CM in 2019.
