The TDP MLA from Ichchapuram, Sri Piriya Sairaj, on Friday, met YSR Congress president Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy at Chanchalguda Jail here.

Former MLA K Mohan Rao of TDP and the party’s Srikakulam district incharge Venkataramana accompanied him, and all three announced their intention of joining YSRCP soon.

Later, speaking to reporters, Sairaj said that there has been a void of leadership in the district after the death of Yerran Naidu, and a lot of infighting has been prevalent in the district. “I am highly influenced by YSR’s schemes, and believe that only Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy can implement those schemes,” he said, adding that he will be with Jagan irrespective of any official position.

“We discussed the problems in our district,” he said, and turned down the allegations that they are being given a package deal to join the party.

Youth is the future and YSRCP is represented by a youthful leader who is attracting leaders from all sections, he said.

TDP MLC Boddu Bhaskar Rao from East Godavari had come to see Jagan and he was expelled from the party.
