Muthuvel Karunanidhi stayed party president for more than 50 years and the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam informed the Election Commission of India that it had changed the party constitution, appointing Karunanidhi president for life. Using that as precedent, at its plenary meeting at Guntur over the weekend, the Yuvajana Shramika Rythu Congress Party (YSRCP) appointed Andhra Pradesh (AP) Chief Minister (CM) and party chief Yeduguri Sandinti Jagan Mohan Reddy president for life. This means he can lay claim to chief ministership after all elections (if his party has the numbers) for at least the next 30 years. He is only 49.
