Who is Y S Jaganmohan Reddy?


Reddy is also a successful businessman, having previously acquired the defunct power project Sandur Power Company Limited (SPCL).
 
Career
Reddy started his political career when he campaigned for the Indian National Congress (INC) during 2004 elections from Kadapa district and got elected as the Member of Parliament (MP) from Kadapa Lok Sabha constituency in 2009. After his father's death in a helicopter crash in 2009, he quit the Congress party and started his own political party, the YSRCP. In 2011, Reddy launched a massive padayatra, a pilgrimage on foot, covering about 3,000 km in 14 months, visiting all the Assembly segments in the state, which helped him gain popularity and support from the people.
 
In 2019, Reddy's party won a landslide victory in the Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly elections, winning 151 of 175 seats, resulting in his appointment as the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh.
 
Reddy has been involved in several controversies during his political career. In 2012, he was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in a disproportionate assets case. He was released on bail in 2013. In 2017, he was arrested again in a corruption case, but was later acquitted by the court.  As the CM of Andhra Pradesh, Reddy has initiated several welfare schemes for the people of the state. The 'Amma Vodi' scheme, which provides financial assistance to mothers who send their children to school, and the 'Rythu Bharosa' scheme, which provides financial assistance to farmers, are some of the popular schemes launched by his government.
